Absolute Newbie: DeveloperSide.NET install Config on Windows XP?

Hi Folks - probably stupid questions but here goes:

Dove straight in and installed DeveloperSide.NET combined Apache, Tomcat,
PHP and MySql today and the server seems to be running fine - judging by the
localhost response page. Also installed Java JDK 5. This is intended as a
testing site for new pages / functionality.

The service is running but I don't have a service notice in the tray - any
ideas on how to get the service notification listed ?

I can easily open html pages in IE, however php pages don't open - it's
looking for a program to open it with. What do I need to configure in this
package to get PHP running (thought it was all pre-configured)?

I have been using IIS in the past, with virtual directories (not on this
machine by the way), and I am not totally sure where my web site / pages
should go:

www, or www\Apache2, or www\Apache2\htdocs\sitename\...

Appreciate some feedback on these points. Apologies for basic questions -
sure I'll learn fast - eventually.
