| So here is the Apache bin folder 
  	  | Code: |  	  | ab.exe ApacheMonitor.exe
 dbmmanage.pl
 htcacheclean.exe
 htdbm.exe
 htdigest.exe
 htpasswd.exe
 httpd.exe
 libapr-1.dll
 libapriconv-1.dll
 libaprutil-1.dll
 libeay32.dll
 libhttpd.dll
 libmysql.dll
 logresolve.exe
 openssl.exe
 rotatelogs.exe
 ssleay32.dll
 wintty.exe
 | 
 Anyone see anything I can delete?
 I've already cleaned up the other dirs, even pimped out the config
   
 I know enough about PHP to know what I can and cannot delete.
 
 As for MySQL... I know NOTHING about it, is there an explanation of everything in MySql root dir?

| All this files are needed. But you should copy libmysql.dll from Mysql\bin to this folder. Because the one in apache\bin is mostly older than the one from mysql it self |  |

| ab.exe :: benchmark program, not needed on prod server but nice for testing. ApacheMonitor.exe :: not really needed "net start apacheservice" works fine
 dbmmanage.pl :: dbm password manager, can be delete if you don't use DBM password databases
 htcacheclean.exe :: Clean the cache of mod_file_cache - I usually keep this one around
 htdbm.exe :: is used together with dbmmanage.pl
 htdigest.exe :: manager digest password files (same rule ad dbmmanager.pl)
 htpasswd.exe :: text based password manager (same rule as dbmmanager.pl)
 httpd.exe
 libapr-1.dll
 libapriconv-1.dll
 libaprutil-1.dll
 libeay32.dll
 libhttpd.dll
 libmysql.dll
 logresolve.exe :: resolves IP addresses in logs to the DNS name - I keep this around but again not needed if  you don't use it.
 openssl.exe
 rotatelogs.exe :: pipe logger to rotate logs every x days, hours... can be deleted if not used
 ssleay32.dll
 wintty.exe
 
 All the once in bold can be removed without harm if you don't use them.
 I usually keep the around unless i'm making a very very lightweight 64mb mobile version for a specific project.
