Error 500 on install on windows.


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have run the default.msi install for PHP on Windows XP PRO.  Tried a small hello world app,

and keep getting this very unhelpful error:

 

This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

 

Here was my test page.

 

<html>

<head>

  <title>PHP Test</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>

</body>

</html>

 

How do I find the root cause of this?

 

Thanks.

It has nothing to do with PHP....

 

I'm assuming it's apache...

 

 

Look for an entry in httpd.conf thats something like

 

<directory *directory name*>

some stuff here

</directory>

 

Or, if there's an htaccess file, try deleted that first....
