    Hi, I am new to PHP and would like to know how to preview Server Side Include's pages when I am working with them off line. Do I have to run apache. If so, where do I learn this? I have downloaded and installed apache but don't know what to do with it.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Try WAMPServer: wampserver.com/en/

    It install Apache + MySQL (Databases) + PHP (Scripting language) and configures them all for you, easy as pie!

    Hi Jay, I appreciate your response. I forgot to say that I am a Linux user though. Are there any other recommendations?

    Thanks

    For SSI you would have to run apache. httpd & starts it. For SSI you might have to modify httpd.conf. Could always open up a browser and type in localhost to see if its running already.

    Here's a guide to install/config (skip down to the starting/running section)

    Here's a guide for the SSI part:

    If those don't help post back with where you are stuck.

    PS: you would probably get more help if you posted this under Web Design& Development>Site & Server Admin >Apache
