Jump to PostIt sounds as if you are trying to manually configure everything but that is the hard way to do it. There are quite a number of packaged solutions that install the LAMP stack for you and synchronize everything together. You can get more info

You don't need IIS in order to develop and test PHP code. It would be simpler to take IIS out of the picture, at least when you are trying to run Apache. If you need to have IIS running at the same time (you should explain why) and that conflicts with Apache then maybe someone else can comment on that.

It's better if u use WAMP server and use all services in it....
or another option is to use netbeans....but with netbeans u have to install xampp server....
So i recommand u to use WAMP server which is easy to use and install.....

You will need to turn off IIS in your system settings in order to get Apache to run.
