PHP 5.3 from scratch - it simply won't work... had to use WebPlatform installer from MS 3. Zend Framework and URLRewrite still are bit tricky to setup (am still researching this subject - and this is how I came here)... So bottom line is - you want PHP server that is easy, reliable and portable? go LAMP... Although I appreciate that IIS 7.5 is better than 6.0, it’s still a rather PITA to make it work:
