I'm trying to be able to test PHP on my local computer. After finding a site that suggested a way of doing it, it told me to install Apache and set it up to the localhost (127.0.0.1). All would be well, except that some computer setting is continually blocking it! I renamed the HOSTS file to something different, and, while I got all my ads back, the localhost was still blocked. Is there something I'm missing? I can't even test to see if my PHP installation is correct, until I can get the localhost to work. So what do I need to do to get it working on an XP Pro machine here?
BTW, is there any other easier way to test this than to, essentially, install all this server software? The above is all freeware, which is why it has been appealing to me.
