I downloaded xampp and I tried a test php script .ie hello world and put it in the htdocs directory and still no go. I get an error saying connection was refused when attempting to local host.
Has anyone had any problems with this? I have been trying everything and am just about ready to give up.
I purchased Larry Ullman's book PHP and MySQL for dynamic web sites and cannot even start the book because of so many problems I was having getting mysql to run.
I shut down my firewall as well thinking this would work. I do have a router, but I can't see this being the problem as well.
Can someone please provide me with somr steps as to getting going or tips as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks you,
Doobie
