So like I was saying before I have been playing around with CakePHP, and I thought that it would be a lot better if I could simply install a development server/set-up on my own desktop, rather than installing Cake on a domain that I have had parked.

To do this I installed WinLAMP, I am not sure what would have been the best LAMP, but I have used this one in the past so I gave it a shot. If you have a standard set up on your Windows machine it is a very easy process to set up the server.

Then I installed the ALPHA installation since I figured that the apps that I am currently developing will not be released into the wild till well after the current Cake development cycle.

I think that entire set up took me about an hour, and then I fired up phpmyadmin and started to build my database for my first CakeApp

If you have used cakephp or starting to play around with it, let us know what set you have for testing. Or if you know of a better LAMP set up for windows post a link here to point us in the right direction
