I want to learn PHP and I am trying to correctly install PHP on my Windows XP Pro machine and I am trying to use IIS as my web server. I tried going through the manual installation instructions at php.net, but now when I try to view my test file I get a "404 Not Found" error.
Here is the address that I put into IE in an attempt to view the file:
http://localhost/phpfiles/test01.php
The contents of the test file are such:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
The full error message is "404 Not Found - The requested URL "/phpfiles/test01.php" was not found on this server." I'm guessing that this means that IIS is set up properly and that the issue is with my php.ini file and/or how PHP is installed on my machine.
What does this error mean and what do I need to fix to be able to view my test file? Is this an error in my IIS set up or in my php.ini setup, both, or neither?
I'm sure that this is a common post by newbies, but I wasn't able to apply the information from other threads to my specific questions. Thank you very much for your help!
