[RESOLVED] Apache Question

[thephpcat]

I have been looking for a way to test PHP without needing a web server. I found Apache and it looked good but ther are two things I am not sure about:

1. Which files do I need to download from the mirrors?
2. Do I need to "Verify the integrity of the files"? This looks very complicated and if I don't have to I do not want to.

Thanks,

1. Depends on your operating system.

If you're running Windows, download the apache_2.0.55-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

2. I haven't but you don't necessarily need to. If you have problems downloading the file, check it. I didn't check it (using Firefox to download) and I have Apache 2, PHP 5, mySQL 5 running on my Windows XP Pro x64 box.

When you go through the install, remember to start apache as a web service for all users on port 80. You can find pretty good tutorials if you google it.
Learn to Install Apache, MySQL, PHP
Install & Configure Apache, PHP, JSP, MySQL on XP/2000 <-- I find that to be the best
