Best webserver software?

[RSI]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I thought it had to do with networking, so it should be appropriate here.

I've messed around with many web server applications lately and they all seem to suck. What would you suggest that is A) EASY TO USE B) HAS A GRAPHICAL INTERFACE and C) WORKS WITH PHP AND IS EASY TO CONFIGURE WITH PHP.

So far my favorite is Fastream NetFile www/ftp server but I can't get that to work with htaccess or php. Other than that it's sweet. But I do need these things to work, so that causes a problem for me.

What would you suggest? Apache seems to be a bit too much trouble. What other easy alternatives do I have? I like AnalogX's extremely simple software - but again I don't know how to get PHP to work with it. Other than the PHP thing AnalogX webserver works very very well. I also like their music streaming server thing. Very nice.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You want easy GUI.

Link to: Project: PHP Triad for Windows. An installer of Apache, MySQL, and PHP for Windows.

BTW the "Best" can be found at the same place that has the ?Best Food?, the ?Best Car?, the ?Best Wife?. AKA Fairy Land.

On a windows box this is super easy to set up and works pretty good.

Apache is simple, you just have to do a little reading to understand it which you should be doing anyway. I thought PHP only worked with Apache and IIS but I could be wrong.

You are wrong, PHP works with quite a few different ones... but basically I'm looking for the most friendly one.

Thanks to all for the suggestions thus far, checking em out now.

Eh, sh!t happens I guess, not that I would subject myself to anything but Apache anyway =)
