Windows Server Install "Confused"

thanks for the reply. It helps, although I did follow step 6 but my config.ini has a db_file param but it appears that is only relevant to sqlite. I will remove it and see what happens.
[globals]
db_type=mysql
db_file=E:\MySQL\data\selfoss\db.opt (to be removed)
db_host=localhost
db_database=selfoss
db_username=root@localhost
db_password=***
db_port=3306

for PHP install, I just copied the contents of the php-7.3.7-Win32-VC15-x64.zip file to the c:\PHP folder and configured the php.ini file. the webpage comes up fine with exception of the message "Load list error: error Internal Server Error" then the page reads "No items loaded, reload?"

I see an error in the Apache error log file and am trying to figure that out as well...
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'mysql' (tried: C:\\php\\ext\\mysql (The specified module could not be found.), C:\\php\\ext\\php_mysql.dll (The specified module could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0

Now, I am uncertain how to add feeds... Is this the part of the Selfoss document explaining it?

You can easily add your own data sources. Spouts (aka plugins) fetch the content from the different sources. Some spouts are included:
