Changes to config files having no effect [SOLVED]
Posted: 13. May 2011 20:20
Hi everyone. I recently installed xampp and it went perfectly - no problems at all. I've been into the security console and set my passwords, read the php info and accessed mysql from phpmyadmin. So yeah- everything seems to be working fine. However I'm having difficulty actually reading files from my htdocs folder. I reset the document root using the httpd.conf file to be C:/htdocs and in there i've created a 'phptesting' sub-folder in which to store all my documents but whenever i try to load a file into my browser I get a '404 not found' error.
Now, I've spent the last couple of days trying to figure this out and yes - I've used the forum search function too but I can't find anything that relates to this problem at all and I can't figure it out myself either. Everything looks fine and in every other way seems to be running perfectly. It looks like I'm set up and ready to get busy learning php but then this problem comes out of nowhere. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going on? I would post some relevant information too if i knew what the hell might be wrong but at the moment I have absolutely no idea. All I can share with you is the following message that i get whenever I try to load any sort of file on localhost (I tried 127.0.0.1 also) ....
Thanks for your time
