phpdev problem

[josefin]

I am using phpdev - I tried using phptriad but got errors with that as well. When i run the batchfile to start apache, and mysql the browser opens with

http://local

host as the url, but the message in the browser is http 404 file not found

Has anyone come across this,and knows how to fix it?

Which Windows version are you using?
Which PHPDev version are you using?

I am running Win 2k and tried loading PHPDev5, it was extremely unstable and had similar problems. PHPDev 4.3.0 (upgraded from 423) works fine. If you have Win 2k go to services to start and stop it, works much better than the batch. I had several problems with the httpd.conf file as well that required me to reinstall the program several times.

Make sure that no other servers are running on port 80.
Also check your httpd.conf and make sure that it is set to 80 or you'll need to specify the port in your browser.

Hope this is helpful.

I am running win98 SE using phpdev423, I have been able to find localhost tonight (perhaps i just needed to restart my computer), but with one catch, it only works if I am connected to the internet which shouldn't be the case surely as I should be working on my local pc.

In some cases I believe you need to configure a loopback adapter. I have not used Win 98 in some time so I cannot remember how it is done but I'm sure that information will be on microsofts website.

I could only find info on microsoft's website for a loopback adaptor for win 2K, however I went into my internet settings and changed a couple of things - I no longer automatically connect when a connection is not present, and also I set the domain

http://localhost

to be on the local intranet (which in my case is just my pc) this seems to have helped in some cases, but for some pages I still get prompted to connect, then get the page not available error if I don't.

the windows 95/98 forum has some info about loopback adaptors - I will see how I get on
