you covered EVERYTHING - except ImageMagick

Right now, ImageMagick installs with the MOST recent version of perl, and the BETA version of the Image magic package.

Everything is very "PC" during installation, except you must run PPM from the directory that the perl package is located in in the download directory.

the active perl package needed is ActivePerl-5.8.2.808-MSWin32-x86.msi
if you re-install over a previous version, you will have to re-install most of the packages your listed in your other document.

the image magick package is ImageMagick-5.5.8-Q16-windows-dll.exe
it installs a directory in "program files" which is where you will need to launch your PPM command from:

C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-5.5.8-Q16\PerlMagick
is my installation directory

I navigate my command prompt here
then i launch PPM
then I "Install Image-Magick.ppd" at the prompt

everything will work.

Mike - I know what you havnt done!

you havnt set apache to listen to that port yet.

you have to do that in the config file - called httpd.conf on the PC.

the line you are looking for is:
Listen 80
you want it to listen to other ports too, so you can do this:

Listen 80
Listen 8080
Listen 8001

etc.

Ive had some issues with this not working exactly as I expected... it is freeware you know ;)

Anyway, I defeated the issue by using virtual hosts. If you need info on that, send me an email, with the subject "need help with virtual hosts!"
