otuatail Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi I have installed apachi server 2.2 on windows 7 64 bit. I got as far as http://localhost and I get a blank page with It works! Dammed if I can find the file. it is supposed to be index.html but I have searched everywhere. Can the location of localhost be changed and if so should I not be able to query the location in apachie? Desmond.

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The folder should be at your programs file under this folder C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs change the drive letter if needed.

cags Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Windows 7 most certainly isn't ignoring your config file. If anything then it's likely you have another web server such as IIS installed and it is this listening on port 80, not apache (or you are looking at the wrong config file). Look for other installations of Apache / IIS. Or search your hdd for index.htm, index.html, index.php , it should be one of them.
