Does this file 'index.php' exist within your servers document root?

How about http://127.0.0.1/index.php ?

You're probably not running your WAMP package. The reason that index.html works is because it doesn't require Apache or IIS to run locally, as there is no code to compile. Make sure that you have started your WAMP package (such as phpdev) and that Apache is running.

In which case he wouldn't get a 404 error returned from the web server.

The document* root, what's the path to the directory in which you keep your server documents? Often it's named "htdocs" or "public_html", or something along those lines. Find that, look in the directory, and check to see if index.php is there.

yes i can find it. what else to do

[Adam]

So it's in the right dir. What are the permissions are on the file? Could you post the exact error you get when you try to access the it through the browser?

[ify]

sorry is not there. i mean the index.php.

error,

 

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

 

[Adam]

Well if it's not there, that's why you're getting the error? Do you have another copy of it anywhere? Check your recycle bin too.

i can only find in it in one of the folders in wamp

[Adam]

...Which folder? Could show the paths as opposed to just naming them.
