Hello,

I am new to web development and decided to try out setting up my laptop as a partial development server. The objective was to install Apache, PHP and mySQL and get them all linked together and working together to create a website.

I successesfully installed Apache, and mySQL. I also downloaded and extracted a zip version of php and placed strategic dlls where they should be (following directions from a textbook). Then I added some lines to Apache conf file including php file types.

However, when I try view a page with php + html via a browser, it doesnt pick up the html file nor execute the php sections of it.

I have followed the instructions in book to the letter but still not working.

Anyone experienced something similar and do you have any suggestions on how to configure Apache to work with php.
