I am trying to setup php 5.5.12 on my Windows server 2008 R2

I found this good tutorial that walks you step by step

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUoqkPJEp4Y

After completing every step everything seems to be fine.

I created a file called phpinfo.php and put the following code into and placed it on c:/inetpub/wwwroot

<?php php_info(); ?>

But when I got localhost/phpinfo.php or http://127.0.0.1:80/phpinfo.php I get a 404 error. I do not know why it is not working. when I execute the following from commands from the command line it looks like it is working and I get many output with no error.

cd c:/php
php -i

In addition to the instruction, I added the following to the registry of windows 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP]
"IniFilePath"="C:\\PHP"

Can someone tell me what else do I need to make get php up and running on windows?

This is what is using port 80 on my server enter image description here

To use localhost or 127.0.0.1 you need apache installed on your system too.

You can download xampp or wamp they both come with PHP, MySql & Apache installed in them.

    Don't forget to start the web server once it's installed. Seemingly obvious, but I've seen that question asked here before. – Nicholas Flees May 03 '14 at 01:47
  • How to install Apache by it self? I don't need MySQL as I have MySQL enterprise installed? – Mike May 03 '14 at 02:26
  • @roun512, I installed it but it failed to start. I got this error. make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 I found this URL to fix it http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotBindToAddress but I don't know hot to stop the service that is currently using port 80.. How can I determine what service is using port 80 currently and stop that service? port 80 should be used by appache. thanks – Mike May 03 '14 at 02:52
  • Port 80 is used by skype too. To determine the service that is using port 80 go to command prompt and type netstat -aon | findstr 80 It will tell you if there is any program that is using port 80 :) – roun512 May 03 '14 at 02:58
  • I don't have skype on that server. maybe IIS? I see TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0 LISTENING 4 (please see screenshot in the post) It does not tell me what service is using it. How would I find out that an how can I prevent it from using it? – Mike May 03 '14 at 03:08

  • @Mike, If that didn't help then download this tool from microsoft http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx – roun512 May 03 '14 at 03:19
  • okay I know the owner of the service which is "System" at PID 4 But I don't know how to stop that from using it. I added another screenshot in my post above – Mike May 03 '14 at 03:20
  • @Mike, IIS is listening on port 80 too, check this out : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1430141/port-80-is-being-used-by-system-pid-4-what-is-that – roun512 May 03 '14 at 03:26
