When you set up or edit your site, click on the advanced tab and set up the testing server. All you need is the server model (PHP MySQL), access (Local/Network), testing server folder (C:\path\to\your\apache\htdocs_folder), and finally the URL prefix (http://localhost/path_to/folder_with_scripts). Then when you preview your pages in a browser, it will run through apache and not as a local/unserved file.
