Hi. Excuse me that i dont speak German. I am new to Apache and i have installed it on my computer as i was giving the link to apachefriends. The instruction say i should run the php files in htdocs folder of the php folder. There is a index.php to try out. But when i double click on it it just asks me to save the file (it doesn't recognise the php file extension).
What i am doing wrong. Hope someone can help.
Gerry

You can't double click a PHP file. Yuo must open them with "http://localhost/filename.php" in a webbrowser.

Hi,
thank for your reply. But i still don't know how to do that. I tried opening it with IE7 but it still asks me to save the file. Do i have to install PHP. Was that not done when i installed XAMPP.
Hope you can help.

I guess, you forgot to start your xampp first.

I guess, then he would get the error message that his browser can not connect to the server

Thanks for your help. I didn't read readme.txt and didn't realise that you have to type
http://localhost before the php file would work. It works now. Thanks a mil! Apologis for silly question.
Regards,
Gerry
