Php page does not load after installing PHPTriad?

[Jack]

Hi there,

I just installed PHPTriad all went good. I started Apache and MySql
services.

If i do http://127.0.0.1. (same as: C:\apache\htdoc s) in by browser i get
the welcome page of PHPTriad so this looks good.

Now i want to open a php file so i do this: C:\apache\htdoc s\firstphp.php

What happens next: Homesite opens and shows me the code:

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
and
<?php
print ("Hello World!");
?>

If i want to open this in IE i also just see the code, does anyone know what
i did wrong and why the php file is not loading properly? What did i miss?
Thanks for responding.
Jack.

If you access http://127.0.0.1 in your browser and the "Welcome to Apache"
page shows up, then you have set everything up correctly.

If you then want to access a PHP script in you C:\apache\htdoc s folder what
you do NOT do is enter the address "C:\apache\htdo cs" in your browser as
this will not go through Apache. The correct address is
http://127.0.0.1/script.php If your script exists in
C:\apache\htdoc s\folder1 then you access it using
http://127.0.0.1/folder1/script.php.

Simply pointing your browser at a PHP file will not get it executed - you
must go through the Apache web server via http://127.0.0.1. The web server
will then process it before passing the results to the web browser.

HTH.
