Apache Friends Support Forum

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?

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?

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.
