Where is the file located? You have to have the files located in the correct folder before Apache can serve them.

[umarmir_123]

i have installed xampp in c ie. C:\xampp and i have my files in C:\xampp\htdocs\
so where am i wrong?

[WingedPanther]

There could be a few things: Using XAMPP (Apache-MySQL-PHP-Perl) for Windows - Textbook
Unfortunately, I'm using a Linux laptop and don't have convenient access to windows at the moment.

is thr anybody else who can help me..

[umarmir_123]

i have installed xampp now is it necessary to instal php also?

[Alexander]

The AMP in XAMPP stands for "Apache MySQL PHP", it has all three installed by default. For you problem, all I can see is that you're confused about the paths. Try this:

Create a folder "foo" in htdocs, then create a file "file.php":
C:\xampp\htdocs\foo\file.php

And place this into file.php:

<?php
   print "Hello, World!";
?>

Then save it; Now try going to localhost to see if it exists:
http://localhost/foo/file.php

Does it work? I can see no reason why it should fail, you most likely mixed something up.

Note: Make sure XAMPP is started, if it is not running the http://localhost will not exist!

so what more would you like to suggest...i will really appreciate ..
thnx

[umarmir_123]

hey i got it now

Do you try to access the file with the URL http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/?
Thats wrong! localhost already routes to your htdocs folder, so the URL should be http://localhost/

[Alexander]

I told you to go to http://localhost/foo/file.php, not http://localhost/xam...cs/foo/file.php. Maybe you should listen a little!

Glad you got it working.
