php, mysql, apache on localhost

Ok, this is driving me nuts. Since I'm doing so much php development work lately, I decided to go ahead and install php, mysql & apache on my machine so I don't have to continously upload stuff to my host.

Last night, I was finally able to view my php files, going through the manor of typing in the path in my address bar to get there. Now, I can only get a select few to open. Actually, right now only one, and it's pulling all the info from the database that it's supposed to. And it won't open when I double click it, I have to type the path in.

All my development pages are in apache\htdocs, phpMyAdmin is working, and phpinfo.php works. index.html works from /localhost/ but when I try it with my index.php page, I get a 500 error. It worked last night as well. All the rest just give me a page can't be displayed.

XP, IE6, PHP 4.0.5, MySQL 3.23.32, Apache 1.3

I installed Apache and PHP on my local machine without tweaking any settings, and it works fine. Hope that helps.

Thanks, that helps alot.

one nice setup file and you can also run virtual servers. This is all I pretty much use, other than installing mysql. The "only" thing that sucks is you have to download the update once a year.

Well I did pretty much the same thing, just with PHPTriad. It installs all 3 (with phpMyAdmin).

Ok, I figured out that it was a small piece of !isset code at the top of my main management file that wasn't working well on localhost and not letting it load. That one file is the backbone of everything else, so it was kind of the important one.
