777 PointsI installed on a windows 8.1 pc that is 64 bit. Is there a specific version for windows 8.1 64 bit.
Thanks

16,963 PointsThe easiest way to get PHP working on your computer is to install a WAMP stack. This will run Apache, MySQL, and PHP on your computer. From there, you can put your website in a folder and see it in the browser by typing localhost. http://www.wampserver.com.

16,963 PointsMay need some more info here. A blocked port could be a firewall problem. Apache, or other server software, is a dependency, so get that. You may need the correct privileges, log into root. Or you may need to just redownload and try again.
This is windows you're installing on?
