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?

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.

Hi I found the config file in apachi. The problem is Windows 7 is ignoring it and looking somwhere wlse. I need windows to look at the folder apach server created.

weird, do you remember where you installed apache?

[otuatail]

Yes Apachie is instolled on

E:\Apachie2.2

 

Config file has

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">

 

and I have an index.html at that location

 

http://local host is pointing to a totaly difrent location. Thats the problem

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.
