Internet Explore blocked this site - newbie problem

Post by victw »

I'm testing some code that I have local.
Worked fine last week.

History was cleared on Friday and a new driver installed over the weekend - not sure these are related.

Here's the path in my browser:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\index.html
Index file runs a php script. index.php

I get an information bar that says "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer."

Tried to add it as a trusted site - that didn't work. Why doesn't it recognize it as local????

Sorry for the stupid newbie question.

Sometimes it's the little things that are the worst.

Thanks.

You shouldn't have to go to C:/program files..... Try going to http://<computername>/index.html and see if that comes up the way you want it to.

Thanks.

Forgot about localhost. Uggh. I think I better go turn the air on. Heat is frying my brain.
