Re: Cannot run http://localhost/hello.php or http://127.0.0.1/hello.php

Are you using Apache, or PHP's built-in web server?  Unfortunately I have no experience with the built-in web server, so if that's the case, then I'm not sure what the issue could be.  If it's Apache, then you need to edit your httpd.conf file and define your document root there.

Hi Dave,

I modified php.ini file which is located in C:\xampp\php and set
doc_root=c:\xampp

put the file hello.php in c:\xampp and then tried http://localhost/hello.php

I got the same error.

Thank you.

Hello,

Just a guess, but I think you may be missing a definition for your document root in your web server configuration.  There's usually a default one in the original config file, but you'll need to edit it to point to your C:\xampp directory.

Hi,

I am new to PHP and also never installed Web Server in my PC. My PC has Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Operating System. To test PHP, I am following http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php and followed the instructions to install the package containing PHP, Apache Web Server.

I installed the software in C:\xampp folder. This folder contains all the sub folders including C:\xampp\php. I can start/stop Web Server using GUI for XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.1. The "php.ini" file exists in C:\xampp\php folder. The version of PHP is 5.6.8.

I tried http://localhost/hello.php placing the file in C:\xampp or C:\xampp\php or C:\xampp\apache or C:\xampp\htdocs folder. But each time, I get the following error.

I followed the installation instruction thoroughly and did not recall seeing any failure or error messages. I followed Readme file and your FAQ. So far have not been able to resolve the issue.

Any help to resolve the issue will be greatly appreicaited.

Thank you.
