- Apache when installed will be known as localhost on your system when run with Perl.I'm not sure with PHP.
- google for: install php apache Here's one good link below to get you started. It uses an installer,so after downloading it to desktop, just click the icon Goog luck.
- WAMP, and make sure you are running your page under localhost. Their site seems to be down now, which is very rare.
- Wamp can really make things easier for you.
- Personally if I am going to use WAMP or XAMPP I would use XAMPP. Otherwise download PHP .msi installer, choose not to configure server, install into something like C:\php Install apache using the .msi into something like C:\www Open httpd.conf (eg. C:\www\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf) using notepad. Scroll down to bottom of this file and add: LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir "C:/php" Now restart apache and your done.
- When I installed Apache and PHP on my PC, I used this article http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Apache,-MySQL,-PHP,-and-phpMyAdmin-on-a-Windows-PC ... It discusses how to install Apache, PHP, mySQL and phpMyAdmin. It worked great and easy to follow.
- It's pretty the same way as Perl method.
