PHP Tutorial 2 - Installing XAMPP (PHP For Beginners)

In this short video, we will cover the part that most beginners struggle with and that is installing PHP on a server. You can use your own computer as a server by installing XAMPP and run .php files on your own computer. If you have a web hosting account then you do not need to follow this tutorial and you can simply use your web hosting to run your scripts instead.

After I press 'finish' after installation, this comes up: "Ports 80 or 443 (SSL) already in use! Installing Apache2.2 service failed!

What do I do?

[TeachMeComputer]

@teamwestby Skype uses Ports 80 and 443, so open up Skype and go to:

Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection

And then uncheck "Use port 80 and 443"

@vampirina8 You actually have to save it as an html file, select all files and save it as test.html and then it works

[curlypetite]

It cannot find the txt file but if i create a test.php it finds it .... so I guess iz ok :)

[curlypetite]

And otherwise amazing tutorial, thx a lot

[curlypetite]

Same problem as vampirina8 when opening the test.txt in localhost I get a 404 error
