I just downloaded apache and everyone says u need to do all this stuff to set it up but all I have is an apache icon that I cliked on and then it acted like it was connected? What all do I need to do or is it working?

What operating system are you on and what exactly did you download? I am just trying to get an idea of what you need to do to set it up. Really I don't think it is that hard. On windows you can find version that make it really really easy. Let us know your setup and we should be able to help you out.

I have XP and I downloaded the newest east php pack with it. It is easy PHP

I am trying to make my own webpage from the post above. I assume this is the first step to do? Set up my server etc.. I'm using dreamweaver.

Oh. And it has 2 green lights and says servers starting.

I'm also trying to integrate this into dreamweaver on the steps of setting up and testing my sites server. Any advice.

well with easy php it should be all setup for you. just try typing in localhost in your browser and see what shows up.

i'm a newbie. What exactly do i type in my browser. I am the host right?

I put in http://localhost/ and nothing showed up.

Do you recieve an error or just a blank page? if you get an error then something might need to be setup. I would look into the documentation for easy php and see if there is something that needs to be done. I will look into it. but I might not get to it until after this weekend as I won't be around. But I guess I would try and find where easyphp installed to and then find the htdocs directory and then replace what ever is in it with just a basic php script and see what happens when you go to localhost

index.php
[php]
<?php
echo 'Hello World!';
?>
[/php]

but other then that I guess the only thing I can recommend right now is to find the docs and read some. I will see where you are when I get back after this weekend.
Good Luck

take a look at: http://www.easyphp.org/presentation.php3

it has detailed install instructions, it should get you up and running. It will explain where to put your files etc and how to access them.

Ok. Its says easy php web local when i got to local host. But my php box still has 2 green lights and says servers starting. I guess this means its working because when php is not on I get nothing but when it is I can access my www folder?

"This page display folders in server root. You can delete this page if you want to organize differently the folder. There'e a backup oh this file in "safe" directory (index-safe.php)."

Then I went to that link about setting up php and it says this:
Save page.
Create a new directory in the "www" or use the directory created after the installation : "project1" (can be renamed, of course ). Save the PHP page with ONE of the following extension: php, php3, php4. This is the usual set up of d'EasyPHP. Extensions may vary with your hosting company: don't forget to change the extension if needed. In this example, we choose .php extension: "date.php"

I made a folder and put in the date forumla from notepad but it just displays my code when I get to the folder through localhost. And I couldnt have it in notepad as .php


I am also having trouble setting it up in dreamweaver using these instructions:

When coding under notepad, in order to save as php, you need to select the file type All files and folders, then it will let you add the php extention onto the file name.

i used to use easyphp and it work for me fin with the default setup.
if that does not work try punching 127.0.0.1 int your wb browser(has the same effect as localhost). and to get to your home dir goto the path of the esyphp application and then locate to a folder called www. there should be a file called index.php there, which you can locate to it by going to localhost/index.php................hope that helps.


p.s
did you try rebooting your machine? lol.......a long shot.
