Hello Group, Till yesteday, the .html file under htdocs were working fine under http://localhost/index.html but today the same URL http://localhost/index.html gives 404 error. My guess is that my apache web server is not working. Can someone tell me "How do I make sure that I am running Apache httpd server." Besides, yesterday when my .html files were working under http://localhost/URL, and .php files were not working the log says the following. ################# Apr 28 07:43:01 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) configured -- resuming normal operations [Tue Apr 28 07:43:01 2009] [notice] Server built: Dec 10 2008 00:10:06 [Tue Apr 28 07:43:01 2009] [notice] Parent: Created child process 1296 [Tue Apr 28 07:43:01 2009] [notice] Child 1296: Child process is running [Tue Apr 28 07:43:01 2009] [notice] Child 1296: Acquired the start mutex.
