dreamweaver and apache server

[nuttynibbles]

hi, I previously work with php on dreamweaver and IIS. Im using window xp pro with service pack 2.

1)However, i wanna use apache server. i've install it. so how do i work with dreamweaver with apacher server. coz when i was prompt to create a site for it, what do i put as my url when i test it locally on my computer?(ie: IIS is http://localhost)

2)I've install php in c:\program files.. so where do i place my files in the apache folder?

1) localhost is not IIS-specific, it's the conventional domain name for your home address (127.0.0.1).

2) Under htdocs. Doesn't Apache or PHP come with installation instructions?

ok i've done that. however, my page wont be displayed. instead it displays my codes in the browser.

erm ive turn off world wide web publishing, turn on apache server. placed my php files in htdocs. but wen i run it in browser, errors msg"The system cannot find the file specified".

Go to the Install for PHP here at PHP:Installation It needs to be properly installed before you can use it, the link will help you set it up on your windows machine and also has an Area for Apache.

you need to edit the php.ini file, and the httpd.conf file for apache, to let each other know where they can find one another
