Getting around to it...

[Mr Ferter]

Its been about time I sorted out a nice development area... However, PHP doesn't seem to work.

I installed Abyss as a service as did the MySQL as a service & made a few virtual paths, password protected the phpmyadmin virtual path.

I set up the HTML editor so that the files are edited or created on the servers path then installed an FTP server that has virtual paths to help with mimic of a remote server.

The folder structure of my installs is as follows.

c:\servers\abyss\aws <- is the server folder with the abyss executables in
c:\servers\abyss\php <- where php is installed
c:\servers\abyss\htdocs == / <- default documents folder
c:\servers\abyss\development\site == /mysite <- where site is developed
c:\servers\abyss\development\test == /test <- where I try stuff out
c:\servers\abyss\phpmyadmin == /phpmyadmin <- password protected
c:\servers\ftp <- where ftp server installs to
+ other paths for temp, uploads and download files

c:\programs\mysql <- where mysql decided to put itself.

Any pointers on how I get PHP to work? I need to get a few ideas into production but PHP seems to be the only thing holding me back...

Well currently it doesn't work, all I get is a directory listing.

I will read up on your link,

Thx.

You get a directory listing because you didn't add "index.php" to the "Index Files" list.

[Mr Ferter]

Ok, now it freezes.

The browser window says,

Waiting for 127.0.0.1 ...

And nothing happens even waiting 5 minutes, no update.

Make sure you have no listening problems in the console and make sure that you add the port at the end of the URL if you're not using port 80.

http://www.example.com:8080

[Mr Ferter]

I am not using any other port, the port is available and port 80 is being used because I'm not specifying any other port number in the http request, all http requests are port 80 unless :portNumber is appended to the domain name.

The Abyss installer is latest one from this site.

I get an error, 403 forbidden when I try to view the root, when I view one of the virtual paths, I get the page, when I try to use the php, admin I get the browser freeze up waiting on the server / php to do its stuff.

I am missing something, something that php.net in their myopic view of the user base, have forgotten to include an important bit of information and thats possibly why its falling flat on its face.
