set up PHP

[A1Pat]

hello all,

I just start learning php and my first task is to install and set up certain applications and softwares, and I am stuck at the first step: Setting up Apache.

According to the tutorial, after finished installing and setting it up, I should be able to see the Apache welcome page or listed the contents of new root folder when I access to "

http://localhost/",

but instead of that, I can only see my IIS

http://wwwroot

webpage.

Should I turn off or remove the IIS for the Apache to work? or there's something else?

thanks!

I believe this is a question for the Apache forum, not the PHP forum.

The Apache forum is here: forum65

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

@A1Pat

are you trying to install apache specifically or do you not care? for example it seems that IIS is working on your machine and for development i find IIS just fine to work with. i.e. dont fix it if it's not broken and you're problem might not be for the apache forum after all.

if you want to use apache you need to turn IIS off or tell them to listen on different ports (by default they listen to port 80). this can be done in the admin control panel snap-in. if
