Zend Framework 1 tutorial Part 1: Installing and configuring Apache, PHP, MySQL and an IDE

This Zend Framework 1 application will be explain how to build a news portal or blogging website using the Zend Framework. But first let's install a development platform and an IDE. If you have already the tools needed you can jump to the next step.
