Hey Rob, Its tough getting started, even with the manual at your side, but you will make it. Lots of folk do fine with IIS but I suspect Apache is less bothersome - one or two small additions to the config file and you are up and away. If you change to Apache and still have problems, mail me for an example config and other stuff including an automatic setup of the whole kit and kaboodle (mySQL, Apache PHP) and I shall send it to you direct.
