Re: getting started - need pointers

You might need to uninstall the Apache server that you installed before WAMP. If you still have that old one running, http://localhost will be pointing to the old server rather than the WAMP one. -Joe On May 28, 2009, at 4:16 PM, Mike Kay wrote:

I am trying to get PHP installed and working on a Windows

server - Windows Standard 2007. I've downloaded and installed PHP 5.2.9. Problem is I don't know how to use this at all. My web server is Apache 2.2 - my database is Mysql. I selected the Apache module 2.2 during the install, and added support for Mysql in extensions. How can make windows start PHP on boot? When I click on a .php file, the file opens rather than runs. Obviously I've missed something. There is a command phpinfo - to view the parameters of the PHP installed - I don't remember how to run this on the command line. Any help MOST appreciated. Also, I'm seeking pointers to beginners documentation for Windows users. Thanks a lot. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
