    Hi,
    I have setup Apache2.2 for my webserver(with PHP 5 and MySQL 5) and I have a question. My question is why when i type in "localhost" in my web browser (Firefox 3) it takes me to the "It works!" page that Apache uses to verify installation, and when I type in 127.0.0.1 in the same browser I get a page that I created?

    Can anybody explain this to me, and possibly fix it so they are the same page?

    Thx

    Can you paste your hosts file?

    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    #
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    actually, when i goto 127.0.0.1, I get a directory page created by apache


    @chandan123:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
    There is a page in there that I created, it appears when I type in 127.0.0.1.
    A different page appears when I type in localhost.

    Thanks,
    s_e

    UPDATE: I solved the problem.
