Trouble with PHP

[rvandyke]

Hello,

I am having trouble using php. I downloaded the MAMP and its telling me sql and apache server is running and I try to type in my php page after the local host in the address bar , but it keeps telling me page not found on the sever. I made sure to save the code page in the htdocs ...... what could be the problem here?

 

 

thank you,

Does the default homepage work when you click 'Open WebStart Page'?

yes it does! works fine. It's just when I write some new code and try to type in the name of my code page it doesnt seem to work.

Ok cool

You also seem certain that the url and paths match up, but just to rule it out, Can you copypaste the url from your webrowser and the exact path from the root of you mac? (right click hold alt and then choose copy as pathname)
Also, in your MAMP settings, which folder is set as your root for the websites? Also copypaste exact path here.

Which exact error are you getting?
Whats really helpful is a screenshot of the full screen when the error shows.
