I just started taking a PHP course and I'm having a lot of difficulties. I won't get anywhere unless this is resolved.
I got the course files downloaded and added them to htdocs folder but I can't run any new files I created. I get
Object not found! 404 error
I see them under localhost/coursefiles/whtever.php. I've google searched all day but can't find anyone else having this specific problem.
Would uninstalling and reinstalling XAMPP work? This is extremely frustrating and making me crazy.
First Check xampp manager Is your MySQL and Apache is in running state ?
Then Type Localhost in your browser , if Xampp Homepage is Coming It means Xampp is working Fine!
And again Checj your course files Extension they should have .php extension (if they are php files).
Create An folder In your Htdocs Folder With Abc(for example) and Write in browser's Url window "http://Localhost/Abc
if your Folder is opening and it's showing Files Then There must be a Problem with files! :)

I'm trying to do some PHP learnin' but I've run into a road-block. I have MAMP installed and I am successfully serving my project files locally. However, after renaming my index.html file to index.php, the page is no longer served.
url is: localhost/projectfile/
I can rename the file back to index.html and the page will serve up again but this means my php code won't run.
I've tried digging around MAMP to see if there is some information/ setting that could help but I'm not finding a solution. It would be great if anyone has info on how this could be solved. Thanks!
You will find all the "start page" stuff in MAMP/bin/mamp (e.g. the English language page is MAMP/bin/mamp/English/index.php).
This is due to the following line in MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf:
Alias /MAMP "/Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp"
Refer Where is the index.* file that is served as the MAMP start page URL?
For anyone viewing this post- I must have edited a config file in the wrong way. I uninstalled MAMP and reinstalled and everything seems to be working properly now.
I'm working locally with XAMPP and Wordpress and I'm struggling with what is probably a very basic config issue. I'm not a professional IT guy, just a hobbyist hacker so I apologise in advance if I'm being a bit dumb but hopefully somebody can kindly offer some assistance here.
I've installed xampp locally on my iMac. I've then installed wordpress using the xampp wordpress installation package. Both seem to be working fine. To test the web server I created a simple .php test file and this generated the expected output when I entered "localhost/hello.php" into my browser. As far as wordpress is concerned entering "localhost/wordpress" gives me access the local wp interface to create and edit posts, change display settings etc etc. So far so good...
Now I want to create a new .php file that includes the instruction:
require('XXX/wp-blog-header.php')
where the "XXX" is obviously the relevant directory path for the wp header file.
I cannot find this file, or indeed local wordpress files, anywhere (and I've searched extensively). In the "home" location for "localhost" (which I know from my "hello.php" test) there isn't even a wordpress directory so I'm totally puzzled as to how typing "localhost/wordpress" in my browser is accessing the local wp installation or how to go about determining the correct directory path for the wp header file I'm looking for?
I do understand that with this stack a great deal of info will either be generated on the fly, or stored in the local mysql database as opposed to the file structure, but I thought I would find some reference or alias somewhere to help me trace this through and determine what path to include in my .php file for wp-blog-header.php.
I've searched this forum and while there are several related questions I haven't found anything that helps me with this particular issue.
Thanks vm,
Ian
The location of your Wordpress files is:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
Ok I found the path I needed and (partially) understand why I couldn't locate it. As Scriptonomy helped me identify the Wordpress files are held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
While my test.php file is held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test.php
The reason I couldn't locate either wp-blog-header.php or wp-load.php is because these there is an another "htdocs" sub-dir under the wordpress install location i.e.:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs
However I (as user "admin") don't have access to read this directory and so couldn't see the contents and therefore couldn't find the files. The permissions on the directory belong to "daemon" which I guess was the XAMPP installer package? Setting the directory path in my test.php file to:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-load.php
somehow the web server (?) can read the file (even though I can't see it myself via the Finder application) and so the code is now giving the expected result.
So problem solved even if I don't quite understand the solution!
Thanks for replies which helped me eventually get to a solution!
Cheers,

I am completely new to web-dev and wamp, I have to use it for a college project to build a website using php. I installed the newest version of wamp. I cloned my project repository into the www folder.
When I run "localhost" in the browser, I get the generic wamp page and I can see my project folder on the bottom of the page under the "Projects" heading
when I click on the project it does not open and I get a 404 not found error. This is not the same issue a thousands other people have written about, where when they uses the path "localhost/projectname" they get access to their project but when they just click their project the path is "projectname" and they dont see their project. I have read tons of posts with people that have that problem and I do not think I have the same issue becase when I click on my project link on the wamp hompage, I get the complete path "http://localhost/PaperCloudBackend/" and this shows a 404 error
Keep in mind that all I have done with wamp so far is:
1) install it
2) clone repo into www folder
3) opened browser with localhost
4) clicked on my project name
I would really like a concise answer to why this is happening so I can learn the root cause, and also a solution to the problem because i have not contributed to my team codebase at all and I have not been able to solve this issue after 1 week.
Thanks
I assume that its an .htaccess error which is clashing . If you have .htaccess in your project then check it if you have given the correct url in the .htaccess rule or you can delete the file(.htaccess) and run the project in your browser.
Another problem that you should check is there any index file is present in the root of the folder you are trying to access.
I hope this might help you.
Currently thats also happed with me on window8.1, To prevent this open the index.php file from root directory wamp/www/index.php.
Change
$suppress_localhost = true;
To
$suppress_localhost = false;
Hope this will help you to fix the problem.
Please make sure that index file exist in your "PaperCloudBackend" directory as it is the entry point of execution.
I installed wordpress on my local machine (backtrack) for experimenting. After I got everything setup I moved it to an Ubuntu Server so that everybody can access those pages at work. I followed the same instructions, I moved the wordpress folder into /var/www but I created a new database with the same username, password and hostname.
The problem is whenever I access the webpage #ubuntu it tries to download the file, if access the page #backtrack it goes to the dashboard and everything is fine.
I did not have an .htaccess file on either machine sop I created one just to see if it will fix the problem but it did not.
Apache works fine because I can get to some folders I have setup by going to
"http://ubuntuserver/folder name"
and the logs shows no errors because it is delivering the webpage to the client just fine but the client is downloading it instead.
Any Ideas why this is happening??
Sounds like you haven't installed the PHP module for Apache or enabled it to use PHP using AddType in the Apache config file.
It seems that your WebServer ( Apache here, i suppose ) is not configured to use PHP module and/or is missing some PHP configuration options.
See here for some basic configuration tutorial.
I have a old php applications which was earlier hosted on Apache 2.2. Now I am trying to host it on IIS 7.5. I installed php with WebPlatform installer. Then copied directory to inetpub\wwwroot folder. Added this directory as application in IIS. But when I browse search.php, it pops up save as file dialog in the browser - asking to save the file. Instead should return the html response which browser can show.
If put sample index.php with phpInfo() in it. It works properly but not the acutal PHP files. Have I missed any steps?
Any php guys out there? I tried reinstalling, even with xampp, but no luck :(
You have installed it but might not be configured properly. You should follow instructions over here
