bitnami install, Document root, windows machine

Question

just downloaded bitnami and executed install on my windows machine.

1. How do i open my php.info page? Localhost takes me to bitnami welcome page.(index.html)
2. Where is my Document root?
3. I am trying to follow along in Tuts Plus "Php Fundamentals" where Jeffrey Way is using MAMP. His htdocs file is empty after He downloaded MAMP and was setting it up. I understand Bitnami is not MAMP but they should be similar?

I love the frameworks you can Select to bitnami that come preinstalled which is why I went this route but something as simple as showing php.info should be a breeze but I need some guidance to opening php.info on my local machine in Bitnami.

thx

Bitnami developer here.

Your Document root is located at /apache2/htdocs. There you can place a simple php file called example.php with the following content

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and then you'll find your phpinfo at http://yoursite.com/example.php
