Installing your own php server w/Apachi tutorial

1

hi’
in page 2 of the tutorial i came accross:Lets do a quick-edit to the config file. Open up C:\web\conf\httpd.conf and search “LISTEN 80”. Replace that with “LISTEN localhost:80” so it will focus the connection on port 80 (web-browser default) only for you. Now that’s dedicated!

Next, search “localhost” until you find “ServerName localhost:80”. Make sure it is set so, because without our pointer ‘localhost’ the website cannot be accessed.
well, I could not find LISTEN80. What am I doing wrong? I use windows xp.
Thanks alot.

if you downloaded the newest versions of php and apache, it is most likely that listen localhost:80 is already set, also you could make a php page and add it your root and see if it works properly when you viewit eg: http://localhost/filename.php

I did that and it seems to be working fine. When I progressed to php and html tutorial the file rain.php came up blank.

In addition to Listen80, I also did not find: DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var when I searched for it as it instruct you to do so.

I got it working. Thanks
