Now your installation (was hopefully a success) is done, reboot your pc.

 

ADDING FILES

 

Oh first of all make sure your apache server is running by going to "Apache HTTP Server 2.2" in your start menu and click "Monitor Apache Servers".

If you already have an icon in your task bar then you wont need to do this.

On the icon make sure theres a Green Arrow saying "Running 1 of 1 apache servers." If not click on it and click start servers.

 

Ok now ill show you how to add files.

 

1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2" and then go into htdocs. Now in here you can insert a file. HTML or PHP what ever.

 

2. Now in your browser just go to "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"

 

Ok hope i helped Comments welcome
