kenrbnsn Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 How does it "not work". How did you invoke the script? BTW, it's much easier to download and install one of the preconfigured packages like xampp than to do it yourself.

vishal99 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hello, Although many popular and free pre configured package are also available for testing and runing apache and php on desktop machine as like already described to you.Xampp is another one. Anyway, If you get error to run php file.First make sure that you have successfully installed php or not. Also make sure, that restarts apache after installing php.

wildteen88 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Once xampp is installed you're set. Go to C:/xampp/htdocs (I think thats the path) and add your php files to that folder. Open your browser and go to http://localhost/ to run them. For more information please go to XAMPPs site for instructions.
