Setting up Apache under Windows 7


i'm trying set test environment using php , apache on laptop running under windows 7. have followed instructions in david powers "php dreamweaver 8", , apache service monitor showing in tray (with red dot), when enter http://localhost in browser "internet explorer cannot display web page".

 

i suspect windows firewall may blocking it, cannot find how prevent this. haven't seen warnings apache being blocked. suggestions?

 

(while researching this, curious notice apache icon on desktop shows red dot, although apache , php working fine.)

i can not on state how easy xampp makes setting local development environment.

 

1. go to:  http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#641

2. install it

3. done! you've got need - apache, php, mysql , more!

 

if have installed apache, uninstall first.

 

easy stuff.
