Get localhost to work with PHP?

Elephant

Hello,

New to this...

I have downloaded the PHPTriad package( Apache, mySQL) and installed it. Now I am trying to test if PHP works on my local computer. I have started Apace.

http://localhost gives the welcome page from the htdocs folder( index.htm), thats a good sign. 🙂

I deleted that file, and created a index.php page, with <?php echo "Hello";?>

But now nothing is found with http://localhost (Apache still running)

Thanks for reading.

Same result. 🙁

I have also now created a test.php file and tried http://localhost/test.php with same result.

And if I put back the index.htm file that one is showing with localhost

You could edit httpd.conf to add index.php to DirectoryIndex.

Hi I don't know anything about PHPTriad but i'm guessing it runs on windows right? Do you need to edit the apache conf file to accept php extensions in the root directories? Try posting your question in the Install forum.
