I successfully installed xampp for win7 by following the same procedure as phpacademy suggested. Everything seems to be perfectly fine except the fact that my "index.php" file inside the "htdocs" folder doesn't seem to be opening at all. Am i missing something here? Please help me out asap.
Can you tell exactly what error you see when you open index.php? 404 error? 500 error? PHP error? The PHP code itself?
does this work? if so then xampp's working fine. you might also want to try creating a new folder and putting your index.php there.
@ap2010 Nope, none of it. Just cant open the file. Tells me to choose the default prog and stuff, but i dunno what to choose. @Sepehr Yes, its working fine. The ".php" file is the only problem though.
you're doing the whole thing wrong. you don't want to open the actual file. you need to use http://localhost/index.php to execute the file. you should only open the file(with a text-editor, i.e. notepad) to edit the code inside it!
