Hi

I've installed apache and php on my local machine (Win XP).  I followed the installation instructions as per your php notes but its not working, ie, if I try to view the test page, <?php phpinfp(); ?> it just prints out the line as plain text.

Any ideas on how to see which part isn't working?

Thanks

Sorry, just a thought, in the manual when it says to put the test page in the htdocs directory, it does mean the following I assume:

c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs

or can I put files anywhere?

The most common thing that shows up this error is for you to be using a file:// URL to access the file on your local machine;  if you're doing that, then your browser is reading the php file direct from the disc rather than through your Apache / PHP service, so the PHP won't be interpretted.   You need to use an http:// type URL ...

Sorry if this seems a daft question, but I haven't worked locally before, should the full path be like this:

Quote:

http://c:/program%20files/Apache%20Group/Apache/htdocs/test.php4

I tried the above and it came up with could not find server


ignore me.

I've cured the problem  I had not confirgured Apache properly, now fixed and working.

Thanks anyway.
