Problem after install

[rastaking]

After sucesfully installing XAMPP and activating Apache and MySQL components i've made a file called test.php with some proper php code which i saved into htdocs folder. I've tried to open the file with firefox but i received a message object not found. I use a 64 bit laptop with 32 bit windows vista.

What did you enter in firefox (which URL) in order to open the file?

http://localhost/test.php

What do you see when you type in your browser:
http://localhost/
and
http://127.0.0.1/
and
http://127.0.0.1/test.php

After typing http://127.0.0.1 i see XAMPP menu but after typing httpp://127.0.0.1/test.php (test php is saved in htdocs directory) i see object not found. I have only XAMPP 1.7.1 Firefox and IE. Do I have to install something else to test php program codes?

but after typing httpp://127.0.0.1/test.php (test php is saved in htdocs directory) i see object not found.

So there is no file "test.php" in the directory "C:\xampp\htdocs" (if this is your DocumentRoot).

Ok. How can I change the document root?

[Wiedmann]

Ok

So it' now possible for you to access the "test.php"? What was the problem?

It wasn't working. I'll reinstall XAMPP 1.7.1 and if the php codes aren't working I'm gonna post a video to show what happens.
