jmr3460 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I just got apache 2.2 and php5 installed on a desktop with XP. This is a good environment to work at home. Sometimes I like to go to the coffee shop and play around. I tried to install apache 2.2 on my vista laptop and it worked good until I tried to edit my index page and it appears that the server is serving a different page that I found in my htdocs folder. My question is where is my index page stored on a vista machine. I should also say that I had this problem earlier and I uninstalled apache, then later after I had success with the XP monster I decided to attack the vista monster. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance, jmr3460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mchl Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 You might have IIS server installed on port 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr3460 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 I looked in services and did not see IIS anywhere as being one of the services. I have never turned on IIS. This machine is fairly new (less than a year). If it did get turned on how do I turn it off and where would the index page be stored. I don't see any folders titled www or anything like that in my windows explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm not really sure. I'm on Vista myself, but I just installed WampServer and it works without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 By default Apache serves files form the /htdocs folder (within Apaches installation folder) I recommend you clear all files from this folder first. Now go to http://localhost you should get a directory listing instead. If you still get your index page try clearing your browsers cache or a Ctrl+F5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
