I don't have time to troubleshoot this with you now, but you should be
aware that Apache Monitor does not work with Windows 95/98/ME. Check
the Apache site for more info. There are lots of tutorials on the 'net
about how to get Apache to talk to MySQL via PHP or whatever. Have you
checked Google and the Apache and MySQL web sites?
