Help getting PHP configured for new setup

[Wrathchild]

Hi, I'm brand new to PHP and installed Apache Tomcat along with PHP and I'm using a book and it states to type in the address 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and I should receive a message stating that everything is setup OK; however I'm receiving an error message stating the browser can't connect/load. Using Windows7.
thanks

Sounds like the webserver isn't up.
Start by pinging the address.

In a command prompt type: ping localhost. If you get responses back then the interface is o.k.

Second type:

http://localhost

in your browsers address bar and see what happens.


The next question would be how you installed Tomcat and PHP?

What steps did you take?
