PHPRunner General questions

HI All "newie here" I have installed a trial version of PHPrunner vers.4.2. When I do a build and get the option to view in browser(which I can't view.), I get the following message;
"PHPrunner was not able to find a web server on your local machine. Web server is required to test generated application locally".

it also mentions about running PHPrunner as an administrater on a Vista machine (that's applicable to me BUT, if this is my problem, How do I do that?)
I have Mysql & PHPmyadmin server on my local machine, which is up and running, the data from any builds, is getting stored in the database. I just cant display the browser.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, ChrisH

To run generated application on your local box you need a Web server like Apache or IIS. Also you need to have PHP installed and configured properly.
I recommend to get XAMPP which is Apache, PHP and MySQL in one package.

Open up a web window and type localhost, what do you get?

If you already have MySQL and PHP Installed, you'll need a webserver just as it was suggested. Here is a link that shows how to install apache server: http://www.sebastiansulinski.co.uk/web_des...php_mysql_a.php
I would also set up the folders just as the instructions suggested. Then you can follow how to install php server and mysql server.
If you are running into problems already, it's best to start out clean and follow the folder structure as it is instructed. You should be able to get running within 1 hour if you follow the directions.
Wish you the best.
