I recently inherited a PHP Web Site to maintain. My knowledge is in ASP.Net and HTML. I need help getting started.
I downloaded WAMPServer. It installed ok, but it doesn't run. I try to run it and it just exits. No error message.
I am running Windows 7.
As you've seen, you probably want to consider XAMPP here http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html. There is a portable version in there that I highly recommend. It requires no installation, so it just always seems to run, even when you've had trouble with other setups.
It also has the ability to set things up so they DO run as services, but I'd suggest if you're just getting started, don't clutter up your registry until you get into it a bit and figure out if you really need it installed.
