PHP does not work after XAMPP installation

[Bob Morgan]

I have just installed the XAMPP package using all the defaults. After the installation I started all the services. There are two file in the htdocs directory; 1) index.html and index.php. When I run the .html file it produces "It Works!' When I run the .php file I get "Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-( ". I tried re-installing XAMPP with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Check your ServerRoot and DocumentRoot path in apache/conf/http.conf file.

Are you using http://localhost/index.php or are you trying to run it directly from the file?
