Re: New Windows user having trouble with Apache and PHP

[Armando <dijital@xxxxxxx>]

You said you changed the port to 8080 but you didn't specify that in the 
browser URL. By default all web browsers connect to port 80 unless you 
specify otherwise. You need to use the address:

http://localhost:8080/phpinfo.php

Cheers.
