    First thing first.When you type start apache and type localhost in browser, does the apache loads its welcome page saying "It Works!!!".

    If yes, Then your apache installation is perfect.

    Then try a small code of php...

    <?php

    phpinfo()

    ?>

    and save it as .php file in htdocs and execute the program. If a php page is displayed with its configuration details than PHP and apache works seamlessly. So you can ensure that your php is too installed properly.

    If this all things works properly than there sholud'nt be a problem with any of your programs in php residing in htdocs.

    Cheers!

    examples must be a directory in this case.

    I highly suggest you use this setup: and by the way, XHTML is not properly served up by default in Apache's default httpd.conf

    also, if your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts does not have

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    in it, you won't be able to serve up localhost.

    I have had troubles with the IPV6 ::1 localhost and apache so I have had to comment it out for the time being.
