Good.  Under Linux, I assume?
What distribution are you using?  What kernel version?  What sort of
machine are you running it on?

Ummm.   Why port 8080?  (It's usually 80)
Are you sure this mag. isn't meant for a Windows audience?

Asked for help with a MS problem on a Linux list!
Sorry -- I genuinely *can't* help you with MS problems -- I'm completely
ignorant of how Apache runs under Windows.

But didn't I see you running Knoppix on the laptop last night?
Apache comes pre-installed with Knoppix -- and I'm fairly certian PHP is
pre-installed too.

Play around with PHP on that :)
