I have tried to install apache, mysql and php on my XP box.
I have tried installing them separately, I have also tried installing xampp and wamp. Have text books that tell how to set them up, have spend days looking in news groups but can't find my problem.
I have tried turning off XP's firewall, I have put apache http server, mysql and their ports into the exceptions on the fire wall.
Apache will display html pages but anything with a php extentsion I get "Windows cannot open this file". I get this message in both firefox and IE.
There must be some simple answer for this problem.
Thanks
