8080 is the proxy port ... maybe you might also run http://localhost:8080/test.php if this won't work than localhost isn't matched to 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file like 127.0.0.1 localhost cause all is done by IP ... also your browser use the IP, only for human beings are the domain names and if the system can't resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1 it wouldn't find anything on it. by the way, default port for http is 80 not 8080 ! -- @ Goetz Lohmann, Germany | Web-Developer & Sys-Admin \/ ------------------------------------------------------ () He's the fellow that people wonder what he does and || why the company needs him, until he goes on vacation. -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
