Step 12 - Bring Apache to life

1) Double-click on the Apache Service Monitor icon in the system tray:

The following window will open:

You'll notice at the bottom of the window it says Apache/2.2.4 (Win32).

2) Select the Apache2 service (with the green circle next to it) and click the Stop button.

3) Wait for the service to stop and the message The Apache2 service has stopped to appear:

4) Now click the Start button.

5) If all has gone well you should see a message saying that the Apache2 service has started, the icon should have changed to green and at the bottom of the window it'll now say Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) PHP/4.4.4. Don't worry about it saying PHP 4.4.4, this is just a side effect of using the modified Apache2 Handler, you are actually running 4.4.7.

6) Open up your web browser and go to http://www.sandbox.dev. What you should see is the standard PHP 4.4.7 phpinfo() result:

This proves that your new development domain name is alive, and that Apache and PHP 4 are working together in harmony. If you do not see this page but instead see the "It Works!" page from previous then make sure your browser cache isn't playing up and refresh the page or clear your cache. The phpinfo() is what you want.
