Download the required software • Apache: • http://www.apache.org/ - only 1.3.xx versions. NOTE: 2.x versions are unsupported; • - PHP: • http://www.php.net/ - only 4.3.x up to 4.4.0.

That means you can browse the server homepage at the URL: http://localhost/ in your internet navigator.

  4. Apache and PHP installation under Windows Server execution mode. “service mode” is the standard mode and starts automatically by the operating system. This is the most common, safe and practical mode. Select "Run as service for all users". After pressing “Next” select "Complete" and click on the "Continue" button. The installer displays the default location for installing the Apache software. Default directory is: "C:\Program Files\Apache Group". The user may change it to “C:\Apache” or other location as desired.

  5. Apache and PHP installation under Windows 4. Test the server with the URL provided by the step 3 E.g.: http://localhost/ (it is also available at the IP 127.0.0.1) If the result page is not similar to the one showed on left, review the installation steps. Notice that if a web server was installed prior to the current installation (IIS or even Apache), Apache setup may have set up itself to a different port, e.g.: 8080 (instead of standard http port, 80). Try the URL http://localhost:8080/ or check the httpd.conf file.

This step requires either WinZip or a ZIP compatible software to unpack the PHP package; b. Change PHP base directory to c:\php in case WinZip unzips the contents to a different location; c. Verify the "use folder names" option is set before unzipping.

Copy php.ini-dist file to c:\Windows or c:\Winnt (it depends on the operating system you are using) and rename it to php.ini; b. Edit php.ini file, enabling and/or changing the values of the following lines: register_globals = On default_charset = "iso-8859-1" extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions" extension=php_xslt.dll c.
