Re: [PHP] New to PHP and struggling with the basics
Kranthi Many thanks, any idea on the name of the error logs? Peter, Yes, browsing to the correct location but still getting the 403. this website requires you to log in. Abah, I've gone to the httpd-userdir.conf file and replaced it with your text (not including the directory tree), restarted apache (after each change) but am still getting the same error. However I have found that if I paste the html into my web page created by Serif WebPlus 10 I get the html line but not the php line. Any further thoughts? It has to be something simple that I'vw not done! Cheers all. kranthi kranthi...@gmail.com wrote in message news:aanlktik6=68ho+hdfpvd3x2qmrudlz_ttco2oqk1b...@mail.gmail.com... apache error logs will be helpful in this case. Their location varies depending upon your installation. But in any case they'll be insde your server directory (IIRC it is c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache by default) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A) v5.0.0 is years old. B) your issue is with apache, not php - 403 is a you have no permission to see this. Check permissions for the file you're trying to test, as well as for the folder. Also, seeing as you're naming the file test.php, make sure you're browsing for that file and not just / or index.php.

Re: [PHP] New to PHP and struggling with the basics
Col. Since you're new to php, then an easy way to install apache, is using XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ) I would suggest you remove the apache you have installed, and the php you installed, and install the XAMPP package as it comes prebuilt with mysql, ftp, apache and php, and it is simple to use/work with. And if you install to defaults there, you will put your web files into C:\xampp\htdocs\ and everythign should just work. The way i read your initial post, is that you installed just apache, and just php... if you did this, then you may not have integrated php into apache properly, so then your php pages will not work. just my $0.02 here, cuz if it doesn't work after you install XAMPP, then there is something else wrong. And the other thing, is that you're running on vista, and vista doesn't like things running on localhost (or at least it didn't used to) Steve On Mon, 2010-10-04 at 13:51 +0100, Col Day wrote: Hi Kranthi, No, I just literally get the HTML line shown but absolutely nothing beneath it. kranthi kranthi...@gmail.com wrote in message news:aanlktin2xnthqm-pp7qwtgo=sqtkctthtwz+08bbw...@mail.gmail.com... they should be something like error_log-[date] not sure about windows though However I have found that if I paste the html into my web page created by Serif WebPlus 10 I get the html line but not the php line. are you saying that you are getting the php code in your browser ? ?php echo pThis is a PHP line/p; phpinfo(); ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your directory configuration should look like this Directory C:\path_to_www_root Order Deny,Allow Allow from all Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be All, None, or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All /Directory On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 10:53 AM, kranthi kranthi...@gmail.com wrote: apache error logs will be helpful in this case.

Re: [PHP] New to PHP and struggling with the basics
Steve, That's superb, many thanks for the link! I shall give it a go! Yes I did install apache then php, however I tried to follow the instructions in the Dummies book (what does it make me if I can't follow the dummies book?) but to no avail. I have just printed off the first 40 pages so that i can read it whilst looking at the screen ratrher than switching about, however I will give Xammp a go first and foremost seeing as I only want to test my own web page before I start to buy hosting elsewhere. Seeing as you are so great :-) Any ideas of the best way to script an upload page that will deliver files to the server? Family photo's and video clips mainly. Thoughts? Also, many thanks to everyone who has tried to help a muppet. But I guess we all gotta start somewhere! Cheers again!

In addition, I think I may have got to the bottom of what I was doing wrong in the first place. I recently swapped out my laptop for my wifes one (she upgraded, well I upgraded hers, and I got the old one) and I forgot that this one didn't automatically boot up into the Administrator profile.
