Gruzin Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Sure, you have to install Apache and PHP :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24199-view-php-files-on-my-computer/#findComment-109983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_barszczak Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 You need to install php which you can use with IIS. Apache is not required. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24199-view-php-files-on-my-computer/#findComment-109984 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 When you installed Apache did you uninstall IIS?You may have not uninstalled IIS and when Apache started up. It couldn't as IIS was still running. About the error your get could you post me the error you got too. Also when you go to http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ make sure Apache is running. You know when its not as you get a 404 Page cannot be displayed error or something similar.
