I'm new with php apache and my sql,thou i've been trying to install it and i cant get it to work.I installed apache2.2 and it seemed to run ok (tho when i try to run localhost i just get a message on my browser saying "It works"..I then installed Php but when i try to restart apache i get a msg sayin: "httpd.exe:could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 80... for Server Name" does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Hi,

that's a warning that on a development system you can safely ignore. Apache can't determine the hostname based on the ip address and you didn't specify a hostname in httpd.conf.

That message doesn't have anything to do with possible php problems.
How did you install PHP ? Check the apache error_log file if the apache startup line contains some php info (or error message regarding php).

The create a php file (e.g. info.php) in the htdocs directory that contains

<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>

Then open http://localhost/info.php in your browser. You should then see the phpinfo output.

Alternatively, download and install xampp. That package should come with everything you need (and more).

What is your operating system and how exactly did you install Apache and PHP?
