I want to try to run the wikipedia software locally
in my computer. For this I need a web server with php.

Any freeware alternatives?

See a table of preconfigured WAMP packages (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WAMPs

Uniform Server also runs from keydrives (for 98/ME support, wait for the
forthcoming v. 3.3). Another WAMP that runs from keydrives is WOS
(Webserver On Stick):

Thanks, to all who replied.

I installed this package, got it running happily,
in my win98se system.

I found out how to look at it with my browser,
http://localhost/index.php

Then I stopped the servers, and moved the
wikimedia software into the www folder,
overwriting the example index.php there.

Restarted the servers and refreshed the
http://localhost/index.php page in my browser.

Everything seems to work, and I am now in the
wikimedia setup section.

I'm not pretending Apache is easy, but it's no rocket technology
either. The Windows installer gives you a fully functional web
server, with a secure default configuration.

Once you get tweaking, you will need some further reading, but then
again, there are tons of Apache tutorials on the web...
