Installing and configuring PHP 5

Step 5 - Testing your Installation.

Open Notepad (or whatever) and paste the following code into it:-

<?phpinfo();?>

and save the file as phpinfo.php Open your browser and go to 'http:\\localhost\phpinfo.php' With a bit of luck you should have a screen full of Server related information and variables.

If not, something has gone wrong with the installation somewhere and a careful check of the steps is required - or ask in our forums for advice, it is usually a simple config error or path related problem and nothing serious. Thanks for listening, the next phase in this series of Articles is to install and configure mySQL for use with Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.0.4.

After that is the installation tutorial for a forums board not unlike the one on this site. Both of these will be finished and posted soon.
