WAMP suppose to include all the tools i need - PHP, APACHE and MYSQL

so why do i always find guides about installing WAMP where there's

instruction about how to install php and apache after you've already installed WAMP?

 

When i have wamp installed and i open the httpd.conf file

there's "DocumentRoot" and "<Directory>"

which of those directs to my page files and what's the second one?

 

ty.

If you have installed the wamp package from wampserver.com then you should not need to configure anything as everything is pre-configured once installed.

 

You should save your web files in C:/wamp/www and then go to http://localhost/ in order to run your .php scripts

If you are wanting to change the location in which Apache serves up files from then yes you'll need to set both directives to the new path.

Apache and PHP can be installed many ways. The best way is a manual installation however most people go the easy root and install a pre-configured package like WAMP. I myself install AMP manually.
