I'm trying to work my way through the "Beginning PHP5, Apache, MySql Web Development" book by Elizabeth Naramore, et. al. -- i.e. a newbie. I'm having trouble getting Apache to recognize my php code files on my HP Windows XP machine. It has service pack 2 and is current with updates.
I followed the examples in the book and added a DocumentRoot line and a directory line to the httpd.conf file. The index.html file worked witin IE7 but not with Fire Fox when I used the
http://localhost URL. Next I created the second check which had me create a php testing file phptest.php in the same directory as the index.html file. Which included the following code: --
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>PHP Testing</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
echo "If this works, we <i>really<-i> did it!";
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When I used the
http://localhost/phptest.php a 404 url not found message resulted. Can any one help me.
