Hi there -- I've used AMPPS in the past for a MySQL Tutorial, and loved it.
I'm about to embark on an HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript Tutorial.
For this I want to install and use a local webserver.
So, I'm trying to figure out how to use Apache on my AMPPS.
I see the 3 buttons: Localweb, AMPPS Home, and AMPPS Admin.
When I click on "Localweb", it takes me to a "Localhost" page, with a CGI-BIN folder on it (which I am not allowed to access as I do not have the permissions -- or so it says).
Please point me to some instructions on what I need to do so that I can quickly start using Apache as a webserver, so that I can start building and testing web pages for my tutorial. And, of course, I want it such that when I load pages on the local webserver, I should be able to view what the pages look like locally on a browser.
You should be able to see perlinfo.pl in Ampps\www\cgi-bin folder. Access it by visiting http://localhost/cgi-bin/perlinfo.pl, you should be able to see perl info.

The folder cgi-bin is restricted and not the scripts inside it.
Excellent, thanks for the reply --- it helped tremendously.
I was actually looking for the "It Works!" page from Apache to show up -- so I copied it from htpdocs to www and now I can see it when I go to Localhost.
