i have saved my file in http://localhost/Applications/XAMPP/xam ... /hello.php

By default, XAMPP's localhost starts with 'htdocs' (localhost is pointing to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/ by default).
If you go to http://localhost/hello.php you should see your php page.

I've been using XAMPP for years in Windows. Some months ago I installed 1.7.3 version in my iMac 20" (OS X 10.5. and it's running like a charm. Now I installed the same version in a Mac Pro (OS X 10.6.2) and have the same problem, any URL produces a 404 error:
http://localhost/
http://localhost/index.php
http://localhost/myfolder/
http://localhost/myfolder/index.php

However, pointing to native OS X standard Sites folder shows the default page OS X page:
http://localhost/~user/

Web Sharing is disabled in System Preferences > Sharing and Apache and MySQL started through XAMPP Control Panel

Thanks in advance

Look if there any hints in the log files.

What does the file error_log contain?
You can find this file at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/logs/error_log

[hsands]

I won't be able to check it until Thursday when I visit again the place where that computer is installed. I'll let you know the results

Thanks for your time

Edit: I just asked a friend with a Mac Pro and OS X 10.6 to install XAMP 1.7.3 and in 5 minutes he had it working as usual !!!???

The first time I downloaded XAMPP in another Mac and copy it in a pen drive as there wasn't internet connection at that time. Having now internet access, I decided to download XAMPP again, moved to the Trash the old one and in 5 minutes it was running ok !?

[Matt G]

hey everyone, I just purchased my macbook 2 days ago and I have downloaded the most recent version of the xampp bundle and the most recent "all in one" eclipse for PHP developers (eclipse-php-helios-SR1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz )..after loading them both "correctly" and setting the eclipse workspace to (/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp), i created a PHP project and file.. I performed a basic test script "hello world" but when I checked the output on the browser http://localhost/simple_blog/test.php ...i receive this error
