Okay so I started up college for computer science and I have a php and mySql class and I want to be able to test my scripts on my computer when opening the .php file with firefox. I could put them onto the ftp site for my school but this would become time consuming later on. Now can I just install apache2 and then be able to run my scripts on my localhost or is it something more complicated? Thanks in advance!!!

you might find it better to install virtual box or something to that nature and then just install ubuntu server on there. then you can start up your virtual server. when testing hope this helps let us know ...
