Test Page when installing Apache
I've been reading about having problems with this and have had problems with testing if I've installed Apache correctly out of Kevin Yanks book.
When typing in "http://localhost/" in the web browser, some people and myself, have not seen the "It Works" page. Instead, people have encountered "Unable to Connect" page on Firefox or "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" on IE.
I'm assuming people are taking the "http://localhost/" to literally. To make things easy, find the "Configure Apache Server" and click on the file "Edit the Apache httpd.conf Configuration File". Scroll down about 1/3 of the page down and find "#ServerName" and copy the name after it and then past it after the "http://" in the browser address line and then press "Enter". You should then see the "It Works" web page.
Example: http://*********/
and to run the first php test page
Type: http://*********/today.php
I hope this helps
