Dreamweaver Testing Server setup for Wordpress

I am setting up a local testing server for the first time so I can work on a Wordpress site via dreamweaver and edit the template.

I installed Apache 2.2 and PHP. It is working. When I type in http://localhost I get a message saying: It works!

In Dreamweaver, I set up the testing server as follows:
Server Model: PHP/MySQL
Access: Local Network
Testing Server Folder: I used the same one as my website folder.

What is Testing Server Folder? and where should it be pointed to?

When I open wordpress index.php - There are all of these PHP icons and I can't see any design. It doesn't seem to be connecting or using a local testing server.

Can someone help me figure out how to get the Wordpress layout to appear in Dreamweaver?

Do I need to set up a MySQL - I didn't do that...

Thanks

Thank you

ThemeDreamer is great. I was able to customize my client's blog to look exactly like the rest of his site with little effort.
