Your question is a bit non-descriptive. The server has a server root
(where the binaries, configs etc reside) and a document root.
The document root (default name is htdocs I think, even on Windows) can
sit anywhere you like, the httpd.conf file should be modified if you
change it to a new location.

PHP can be installed where you want it, placing the PHP software inside
your document root is not recommended, to put it mildly.

Like others said, try one of the single-installation AMP packages if
this is a bit new/difficult material for you.

And, please do not top-post in usenet. Put your replies below the quoted
part of the previous message.
Thx
