apache server for xp home

G

Guest

I've installed apache http server 2.2.2 so that I can write dynamic web pages
using dreamweaver 8. I believe the best 'format' to use is php files, for
which i have downloaded the php application server. However I'm clueless
about how to get these programs to run. There is an icon on my taskbar
telling me that 'none out of 1 apache services is running', but if I try and
start it I get an error message stating 'the requested application has
failed'.
If I right-click on the taskbar icon and open my local services window I see
that apache is configured for automatic startup on the local system, but has
not started and if I try start it I get an error message saying look at the
system event log - which tells me nothing.
How do I get this thing to work?
And do I really need the php application server?
