How to install Magento on Windows XP via appserv?

are you struck with php extension?
If you are Windows user and use Appserv you might found warning below when you to install Magento on Appserv.
PHP Extension "pdo_mysql" must be loaded
PHP Extension "mcrypt" must be loaded
PHP Extension "curl" must be loaded

It's maybe help if you follow my instruction.

  1. Install Appserv and copy your Magento to www root directory.
  2. Edit php.ini file. (uncomment in extensions that require)
    • extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
    • extension=php_curl.dll
    • extension=php_mcrypt.dll
  3. Copy dll files to C:\windows\system32 directory.
    (you can download from php extensions require by magento)
    • for phpcurl : libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll are needed.
    • for mycrpt : libmycrpt.dll is needed.
    • for pdo_mysql : libmysql.dll is needed.
  4. Restart Apache service.
  5. Done!! easy?

next time I will talk about How to install Magento on OS X (Leopard).
