PHP is not working on Windows after I completely installed it

Question

I am trying to setup php 5.5.12 on my Windows server 2008 R2

I found this good tutorial that walks you step by step

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUoqkPJEp4Y

After completing every step everything seems to be fine.

I created a file called phpinfo.php and put the following code into and placed it on c:/inetpub/wwwroot

<?php php_info(); ?>

But when I got localhost/phpinfo.php or http://127.0.0.1:80/phpinfo.php I get a 404 error. I do not know why it is not working. when I execute the following from commands from the command line it looks like it is working and I get many output with no error.

cd c:/php
php -i

In addition to the instruction, I added the following to the registry of windows

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP]
"IniFilePath"="C:\\PHP"

Can someone tell me what else do I need to make get php up and running on windows?

This is what is using port 80 on my server

To use localhost or 127.0.0.1 you need apache installed on your system too.

You can download xampp or wamp they both come with PHP, MySql & Apache installed in them.
