Your problem is that you seem to not understanding how a virtual path maps to a real path.
When you ask for http://yoursite/test.php , you ask to run the file test.php which is located at c:\program files\abyss web server\htdocs . Abyss Web Server won't guess (unless you tell) it that your files are in another folder. So read our "Getting Started" chapter in the documentation if you doesn't master the way virtual paths are converted to real paths and put your test.php in the htdocs folder for now. It will work.

That much I do understand and the webserver itself works fine, normal HTML pages I can get to show up fine, as they are all located in the htdocs file. The problem that I have is to get the php documents working (these I have also put in the htdocs file) but I must be missing something as having followed all the instructions as above they don't show...

I have followed the instructions on http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html Very, Very carefully more than once, but just incase have just been through them again to no avail, I have double checked that the CGI path is declared as / and it is. But still the same error message...any other surgestions please?

I did say...The error message that I am getting is 'Error 404 Not found'
there is a horizontal line with 'Abyss Web Server X1
© Aprelium Technologies - 2001-2002' underneath

I thought that this was an error message generated by the web server not the php, which is why I said that php did not show up.

the page that I am trying to link to is 'test.php', (which is saved in htdocs) and which contains the following script:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>


the condition is when I put 'http://localhost/test.php' into the web browser.

Ok, you've lost me...where I have typed in 'localhost', I don't indicate that I have changed the file holder from htdocs to localhost.

I have been into "Getting Started" as you mentioned (this is what I used to set up my web server) and have seen the file 'setting up a website'. Here it states that to acces the page I need to use 'http://<your host name>'

'If you want to connect to the server from the computer it runs on, you can also use localhost or 127.0.0.1.'

this would mean to me that the address that I would enter would be:

'http://127.0.0.1'
or
'http://localhost'

so are you telling me that I am using the wrong address?

and this is what I have been accessing the pages from and this works for normal html pages. But lets just say for argument sake that I would use my computers ip address 'http://<my ip address>/test.php' this still brings up the same 'Error 404 not found'

Just for the record I have read through all of the associated documents more than once, so to be posting messages in this forum for answers was/is not an easy optiion for me, I am prepared to admit that I may be doing something wrong, and I need help :?

[aprelium]

OK mickey, let's start from the beginning. When you type http://localhost/test.php (or use 127.0.0.1), the web server needs to know which file you want to access. /test.php is the virtual path of that path. It is virtual because that path doesn't have a real meaning. It is only meaningful inside the web server.
So the web server converst that virtual path to real path. That means it converts it to a path understandable by the operating system.
So if your documents path (this is a parameter in the server configuration) is htdocs/ , /test.php is converted to htdocs/test.php. This new path is a relative path (it doesn't start with the drive letter (c: for example)). So to get the full real path, the web server prepends the root path (another parameter). If your root path is c:\program files\Abyss Web Server, /test.php will be converted to c:\program files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\test.php .
OK, now if your web server gives you 404 error, that means that after doing the conversion from the virtual path to the real path, it was unable to find a file at that real path.

Bingo!

That was the problem, I Thank you very much for your help, I do appreciate it.

But can I just say that if you had taken me seriously in the first place and listened to what I was saying, instead of being such a smart arse and quoting to me the mantra about bloody paths virtual or other wise when I told you many, many times that this was not the problem we could have been here many days ago.
