Area_51 Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Help! i cant believe it, another nightmare on my back and this time its my apache server playing up on me! I have been using apache server 1.3.23 as a console (in windows 98) for nearly a month because I managed to configure it properly with mysql and php. I have been happilly completing some tutorials and they worked fine (.php and .php4 extensions worked fine). Yes\'day im not sure whether I did something wrong to my computer because for some reason it can not seem to find the php files in my localhost folder. When I test it using the local host url, the Apache message comes up saying if you see this message then Apache is set up properly. Straight from the localhost folder i used to use a file called test.php i.e. http://localhost/test.php This file was like a \'hello world thing\' and also included the phpinfo() function and all this used to work! for some reason when i type the same path in my browser it can not seem to find the file! I have other php files that used to work but dont seem to load up any more! Can someone please tell me what may have happened and what must I do to correct this situation.... Thank you, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 are you sure the files exist? double check in windows explorer before we go after apache\'s mass of configuration options :shock: accidental delete perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area_51 Posted January 30, 2003 Author Share Posted January 30, 2003 hi effigy, I double checked and these files do exist. Inface they actually appear listed when I type the folder name in i.e. I have a few php files in a folder called vault. So when i type the full path : http://localhost/vault/ It displays all the files. And when I click or even type the desired files in, the browser simply can not find them! I really dont knw what happened here because the last time i used it, everything was working fine. I even just done a virus scan and my comps virus free. Plz try 2 help if you can, thank you very much for your time J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effigy Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 :shock: no clue. i\'m not familiar how apache works on windows as far as user/group permissions - check that? files corrupt? you didn\'t make any changes to the httpd.conf at all? maybe it\'s windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area_51 Posted January 30, 2003 Author Share Posted January 30, 2003 thanks for trying though effigy. I can not figure out what the problem is, its strange that it was working the night before and then the next day all php files cannot be found/recognised when they are all there. cheers, Jass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebmil Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 all php files cannot be found/recognised when they are all there. Does it only fail to find/recognize .php files or all files? Try an HTML file. Does you browser find that through localhost? What if you save your php files with a different extention ( .php3, .php4, phtml, are a few that have been used). If only php files are the problem you should be able to narrow it down to only a few possabilities. You may want to check your ini files to make sure the php extention is listed properly. Doen\'t know why it would change by itself overnight but I have seen stranger things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
