Hi

I'm a noobie to server stuff, but I need a local server for testing. I installed UniServer 5.6.16-Nano successfully on my USB stick. When I created a folder in the www folder and put the latest version of WordPress in it (after creating a database and user/password for the database), and tried to install WordPress at file:///D:/UniServer/www/area51/wp-dev/wp-admin/install.php I got this:

Error: PHP is not running

 

WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.

I'm not a PHP developer and I don't now much about Apache, etc. So any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks.
