I've downloaded Apache and PHP and followed the installation porcess for both but I'm still having problems with the former. When I test the server using http://localhost/ I get an error message stating that the page is unaccessible.

I'm miffed because it actually worked last night and earlier this morning and I've even resorted to using the default config file but still its not working..........somebody help i got to finish my assignment soon

on windows

type this on the command line

Code: Select all

net start apache
this starts the apache service in case it has'nt started automatically, if this works then you should set it up as a "start-up" service by going to:

control panel - administrative tools - services

needless to say you must be admin to do this

also check your apache logs, usually the messages mean nothing, but copy and paste it into google and you'll usually get your answer

hope that helps you out

someone else will have to guide you through linux..........
