All I want to do is setup my web server at home to use blog software. I
downloaded a freeware program from sourceforge.net called simpleblog.
All it says I need to do is install PHP which seems simple enough. I
goto PHP's web site and install PHP but none of the file associations
on my computer see PHP files as anything? The first step of using
simpleblog is to simply double-click on index.php but even if I
associate PHP's executable to the PHP extension it simply pops up a
quick DOS window and then disappears and nothing happens.


I would have simply thought if I installed PHP on my PC I could run PHP
files. Admittedly I am a newbie at this so any help is appreciated.


Thanks.
