http://localhost not working

I just got done setting up IIS and PHP. For some reason when I go to my web browser and type in http://localhost/ i get a 404 error but when i type it http://garrett/ (my computer name) i get an "under construction page". Could anyone tell me why the localhost isn't working?

check what did you specify as <DocumentRoot> in your php.ini file. check also whether you properly configured IIS with php... btw... i suggest you get apache ...

<DocumentRoot> isn't a php.ini configuration directive, it's found in Apache's httpd.conf config file.

Take care,

sorry for that mistake, <DocumentRoot> is really a Apache's configuration file. sorry for that

You may need to add localhost 127.0.0.1 to your hosts file. On my machine that is under the system directory in drivers\etc\hosts.
