Have you tried Instant Rails? It's prepackaged with Apache, MySQL, and Ruby itself.

I'm not sure about the best. I use GoDaddy for my webhosting (all packages include MySQL), and everything has worked great for me so far. The important thing, though, is to remember to get a Linux server rather than Windows because of the security options and because most webhosts limit some php functions on their Windows servers.

Best combination I have used is:\n\n1) Apache We Server.\n2) MySQL (for database).\n3) PHP (scripting).\n\nThis works on all major OSes.

Use MySQL. You can download it free from http://www.mysql.com/ You should also download the Administration tools that come with it. They are very useful. You may also download phpmyadmin, a web-based admin tool you that works on a PHP-enabled server. You will find it very easy to setup and use. These tools are powering many websites on the net. Of course, you webhosting package must have PHP/MySQL enabled. All technologies mentioned are Open Source.

jsut go through with it...should just install fine.\n\nit will probably be in the root of c though.. also, when you start apache (probably default) you will need to look at it in the services applet (start --> run --> services.msc).\n\nyour computrer will be known as "localhost" so if you see this, keep this as default.\n\npersonally i suggest wipping another computer out (doesnt have to be expensive or new) and build you a debian linux box and use apache using that.

You can get a free version of SQL Server 2005 (the "Express" edition) at the link below.\n\nIt will run fine on Windows XP.

MySQL is always free. So is Apache. If you are looking for a Linux OS with everything setup:\n\nSlax Server edition is al inux live CD with everything already setup.\nhttp://www.slax.org/download.php\n\nI recommend Slackware if you want to setup a thin custom Server, just running what you need.\nhttp://www.slackware.com/
