grissom Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi folks, hope I posted this in the right forum, apologies if not. I installed XAMPP "out of the box" onto my PC running Vista. However, when I try and run a PHP file, the file does not run, instead I get the message "Do you want to Open Or Save this File". The PHP file is just a little test file in htdocs. I've tried reinstalling and I've also signed out of Skype (which apparently can cause a conflict) Any ideas ? many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Are you accessing the file via http://localhost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 When I try http://localhost/xampp/ I get a 403 error Does the xamp directory exist within your htdocs directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
