Expect to see a bit more about this Very Soon:
remember that Apache and PHP are constantly being developed and therefore occassionally they will not work with one another... But there are things you can do to minamise the risk of them not working together and we will mention them here at The Computer Fixer Blog.
Firstly 1/ Make sure you get Apache working first, install it as a service that is designed to run everytime you boot your Computer. The Apache Monitor should be visible in the Task Bar and there should be a little green arrow in the circle, The mointor will report that the Apache Server is running.
Secondly 2/ So test to see if you can put a Web page into the public area of the web server and view it on your own computer, get that working before you think about downloading PHP.
Thirdly 3/If you have previously got Apache working with PHP on another computer and it works fine consider getting the installation file for Apache, PHP and MySQL and burn them to a DVD and use them for your installation on to your computer or Laptop, after all you know they work together don't You!
Fourthly 4/ Remember that PHP is downloadable from the PHP Website, but you should steer away from the Automatic installer and instead Go for the Windows Binery that is a Zip file. In other words you are going to download a Zip file to your Computer and then Create a Directory called PHP in the root of your hard drive. You will be unzipping the whole thing into there.
