It's indeed important to call the file index.php and not index.htm or index.html. You also need to tell Apache (in it's configuration file) what to do with .php files. This is explained in the PHP installation information. Make sure you're looking at the index.php file through Apache and not directly as a file. This means that the file must be accessible from the root HTML directory, so depending on the version of Apache you're using this is for example by default: - c:\htdocs\index.php - c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\index.php (The exact location is defined within the Apache configuration file). You should then be able to access the file as: http://localhost/index.php Also check in the 'hosts' file (somewhere in the Windows directory or in /etc/ for Unix) if localhost has been defined and is equal to '127.0.0.1'. Also try the URL: http://127.0.0.1/index.php Also try the real IP address of the computer, on a local system behind a NAT-router this is for example 192.168.1.15. (Type 'ipconfig' after a DOS prompt). Also try pinging those IP addresses (but not all systems respond to ping calls). After a DOS prompt, type 'ping localhost'.
