Sounds like a f*cked install. You probably forgot a few steps, you can't just install all 3 and expect them to all work in harmony without any configuration.

I highly recommend using WAMP.

You need to configure Apache (unless you're using IIS

) to know about PHP. Find your "httpd.conf" (Apache config) file, and find where all the "LoadModule" lines are, you'll need to add something like this:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module php5apache2.dll

You'll need to make sure "php5apache2.dll" is the correct filename of PHP's DLL file, and that it's in the right directory (you can probably give the full path to the DLL, where you installed PHP to)

Then you'll need to add PHP file types to Apache, still in "httpd.conf", find the "AddType" lines and add:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

This will tell Apache to process all ".php" files, with PHP.

Ok. I'll try that... Is Apache better than IIS?

In IIS goto "Web Service Extensions" and Allow PHP.

PS: WINDOWS sucks, Linux is better, Apache is better.

Linux apache < Windows IIS 6.0 in terms of security.

You may be talking about Apache2, however. Which on Solaris is a fortress.

Built-in Apache, beesh.
