Hi Tony! > 1st issue. When I installed Apache, the installation program > self-configures.

You need it to be a web server to be able to develop against it. If you don't want it to be *ACCESSIBLE* from the web, firewall it. > 2nd issue.

You should probably download the version of PHP that has the installer: http://www.php.net/get/php-5.0.4-installer.exe/from/a/mirror It will install and configure PHP for you.
