default.php page error

kefi2927 · Aug 27, 2004

Hi

I'm a newbie to PHP. I've installed PHP on my Win2K PC.

I created a simple page:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
</body>
</html>

I have saved this in my

http://wwwroot

folder inside another folder phptest.

If I save the file as hello.php the pathway for the file works in my web browser:

http://localhost/phptest/hello.php.

If I save it as default.php or index.php and the pathway becomes:

http://localhost/phptest

the error I receive is:

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

Can anyone help me with this?

Cheers

You need to modify your webserver config to recognize the file.

In apache it would look like this:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.html.var index.cgi index.php

How would I modify my webserver on Win2K to recognize the file?

kefi2927,

How would I modify my webserver on Win2K to recognize the file?

Since you don't specify which webserver you're using, I'll take a guess, and say it's probably IIS 5.0, which comes with Win2K.
