php not working since installing visual sudio 2005 express

Post by juliaw »

I installed and was running php 5 and apache 2.0 fine on my machine. It was then necessary for me to do some work using .NET 2.0. I therefore downloaded visualstudio 2005 express onto my machine. For other reasons I have also downloaded firefox since last running my php programs. I have not installed iis and the apache service is running. When I browse the php prgams that were working fine before the downloads the browsers are not recognising the php code., the files do have a .php extension.
Please can you help as I really wnt to be able to develop in both environments for different projects!

Thanks for your help in anticipation,

Julia

Could you be a bit more specific? Do you still get to browse the files (as in: i still see the pages, but unprocessed)? Have they disappeared? (I've installed vs2k5 on a couple of machines with apache+php and never had such a problem)

Open a command line window and enter

Code: Select all

netstat -anbp TCP
look for the line having

Code: Select all

Proto  Lokale Adresse         Remoteadresse
TCP    0.0.0.0:80             0.0.0.0:0
[---]
what does it say for [---] in your case?
