 |
|
Hi-
I recently installed Abyss Web Server, and installed PHP 5.0.3 with it to locally test scripts before paying a monthly fee to a web host company. Anyway, since I am very new at this, I was wondering if anyone could give me a brief tutorial on how to test a simple script like:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ansi" />
<title>Your Feedback</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php print ("Hi"); ?>
</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And get it to appear on my local server browser?
Thanks!

Goldmund,
Go to your htdocs/ directory (located inside the Abyss Web Server directory), create a file called test.php and open it using a text editor (such as Windows Notepad) and enter the script source code there. Save the file and go to your browser and request the URL http://127.0.0.1/test.php .

Thanks for the info, but it's still not working. I get an error 404 when I type http://ipaddress/test.php into the URL. I'm not sure what's going on. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks again.

check to see if the file isn't saved as "test.php.txt".
if it is then, open the file, and then save it as "test.php" (including the quotes) it should then save it as "test.php" (without the quotes). then try again.
when you view the folder in windows explorer, the file will have the unknown icon, double-click, and when the open with box opens, select "notepad" and making sure that the "Always use this program to open this file" is ticked, then click "Ok" or "Open".
then you won't have to type the quotes every time.
if it isn't check to make sure that the file is saved in the "htdocs" folder

Okay so I opened the test.php (unknown document) with notepad and now the icon looks like a a piece a paper with a notepad on it. It's also in my htdocs folder and it still doesn't work. Do I need to do something else on my console? With the server parameters or something? I really don't understand why it's not working.
Thanks for your help guys. Much appreciated!
