divz2 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hello, I am new here and also completely new to php/mysql/phpmyadmin. I am struggling with setting up the above tools. I installed php and made changes to the code based on the instructions given on this link : http://www.kidslovepc.com/php-tutorial/install-php-phpmyadmin.shtml But when I try to run http://localhost/test.php,'>http://localhost/test.php, it is giving 404 Not Found error. When I type in http://localhost/ it is bringing up another website page(which is located on my pc). I am not sure how to change the IP address of the localhost. I am new to all this so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divz2 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi, Thanks a lot for all your replies. Php/IIS/Mysql have been setup correctly but I am not able to point the localhost to the correct address. When I type in http://localhost/ it is bringing up another website page(which is located on my pc). I dont know if my question is clear. Can anyone please help me how to point the localhost to the new folder where I uploaded php/mysql? Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
