i have sucessfully install php and apache and when i try to run my php file, it prompt page not found (error 404 ).

Where are you putting your PHP files? They must be under the document root of your host (or one of your virtual hosts, but I doubt you need virtual hosts), or available under one of your user directories.

To test the installation of Apache, then I'd suggest going to http://localhost/ and see if the default index shows up. To test PHP, run a simple PHP info script:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

That little function generates a huge page with several tables, each showing all the various extensions and core configuration settings.


Take care,
