sorry i am a begainer but how i install web server i've already download Xampp

Answer 1

I just double clicked on the downloaded executable (xampp….exe) file I got from apachefriends.org. This should start the installer.

Next it will ask which features you want.

You do not need “Filezila FTP Server” if you are planning on running it on your local machine.

After that, it will ask you which directory you want to install Xampp in. I would avoid installing it in “program files” or “program files(x86)” directory on windows as you may run into problems with UAC.

Untick “learn more about bitnami for xampp”, if you are not planning to install software like “Drupal”, “Joomla”, etc.

After this Xampp should be installed on your system.

Lastly open xampp control panel and run apache server. You should be able to access it from the start menu.

If you have skype on your machine you will need to change the port number. If you have multiple instances of MySQL, you need to disable the one outside of Xampp folder. Any changes to apache will require you to restart apache, before the changes take effect.

To view PHP output in the browser you need to type localhost:[port number if not 80]/[route to file].
E.g. localhost:3000/my_firstpage.php
Apache must be started before this will work.
