Topic: Php file will not load in browser

[tvette]

I've done the following
1)loaded php to conf and apache is running;
2.) added AddType application/x-http-php .php to conf;
3.) added test.php to htdocs;

Apache is listening to port 8081 on local c drive

Can't load test.php in browser

Below is view source

<p id="errorExplanation">This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage.</p>

All help would be greatly appreciated.

James thanks for your reply.

attempting to load http://127.0.0.1:8081/phpinfo.php with the following script:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

returns:

<p id="errorExplanation">This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage.</p>

fyi:
1. windows xp;
2. i added to control panel/system/advaced/enviroment variables: c:\php5 to 'PATH', and new "PHPRC' with a value of c:\php5;
3. http://127.0.0.1:8081 returns 'It Works'
4. Copied and renamed 'php.ini-recommended' as php.ini in c:\php5

not sure what i'm doing wrong?

I think I may have solved. I added " " around file name("phpinfo.php"), which allowed the file to contain only .php extension. The file then loaded in browser window.
