Have you tried browsing to

http://localhost,

if Apache has been installed and configured to start, you should get the default Apache webpage. Similarly, if you've ensure that mod_php was installed (when you chose the packages for install) then you should be able to run php scripts as well.

Online documentation is online at the Mandrake website;

Check for Apache server running:
ps -ef|grep httpd

If not running:
/etc/init.d/httpd start

To see if PHP is enabled find the httpd.conf file (/etc/httpd/conf/ ?) and do a search for PHP modules defined in there.

First off, make sure that Apache is installed...

rpm -qa | grep apache
...or...
rpm -qa | grep httpd

Next, locate the httpd binary using the locate command...

locate httpd

You may have to update the locate database by running 'updatedb' before running locate.

Run the following to see if Apache is compiled with PHP support...

/path_to_httpd -l


You can start Apache with this command...

service apache start
...or...
service httpd start


...I'm not sure if the package is called httpd or apache. I think older versions called it apache and newer versions label it as httpd.

thanks for all the replies -
I followed the instructions but I get a timeout when I open a browser and enter

http://localhost

or
