Does anyone know how to set up a testing server for:

Vista 32bit
Dreamweaver
Version cue cs3?
MySQL/PHP
Firefox 3.0
phpmyadmin

It MAY or may not be something I'm doing with the file paths.

Any and all help is MUCH appreciated.

Just place all your PHP files, etc, in the "htdocs" folder. Then open Firefox or whatever browser you're using and type "http://localhost/ ".

Thanks again.How exactly do you mean explain? Have you got it downloaded?

Just install it and save it to your main program files folder (C:\ Program Files\ etc.)
Now double click on xampp_control.exe in the main XAMPP folder. This is the control panel for starting the MySQL, PHP, SMTP etc. services. The best thing to do is just start all the services.

Next scroll to the "htdocs" folder in the XAMPP directory. Create a new folder for example "my_website", and place your HTML, PHP, etc files in there.

So, if you don't mind:

What do I do to IIS to get it to accurately display PHP info?
What paths do I need to configure?
If I'm not aware of something, what should I be considering?
