IE cannot display the page

[createdcreator]

Hello everyone.

I am new to web development. I recently installed  wamp server suite into my computer. However, as I make several web pages using PHP, IE tells me that it cannot display the page which definitely exists in my directory.

How will I resolve this problem?

Thanks.

Can you see http://localhost and http://localhost/phpinfo.php ? Are you placing your PHP file under \www\webroot and naming them with the .php extension?

i'm having the same issue. typing
http://localhost/
or
http://localhost/phpinfo.php

gives me a 404 error (page does not exist even though i know the pages exist in the webroot folder)...Also whatever else is in the webroot folder is not accessible (error 404) from the http://localhost except the 'stats' folder which for some reason is visible, i.e.
http://localhost/stats/
returns the 'stats' folder
but
http://localhost/aspsample/
doesn't return anything (page not found)...even if I create a new folder within webroot it's 'non-existant' to the browser...
so, should I put all my .php files in 'stats' folder and work from there? :)

What are the contents of \www\Apache22\logs\access.log and error.log?

[omnyx]

both access.log and error.log have nothing for today's date.
i.e. access.log has been last modified when I installed the suite (back in june)
and error.log has nothing for today's date (last message is from two days ago...might be something i did with drupal)...today was the first time when I typed something like this in localhost so the error never happened before...
thanks

Load up localhost, phpinfo.php, and stats in your browser. There is nothing under access.log and error.log about those requests?

[omnyx]

so the access.log wasn't modified for over a month (since the date I installed the suite).
this is what I got under error.log (for today's date)

though, I was doing some things in drupal today....
again, I can only see /stats/ folder and everything inside...however, just localhost or anything within it except for stats folder is still giving me error 404.

Perhaps you have turned off the log feature somehow and edited the config files in a bad way. All 404, and otherwise, errors get reported under error.log, all other requests get logged under access.log.

[omnyx]

huh...but how would I get it back (the log settings)?
I just started using the suite 'out of the box' when I installed...didn't do any other configuration on my own...
thanks

[admin]

Is the option of uninstalling and reinstalling the suite feasible for you? That would be the quickest way.

Thought it does look like you have made changes to the config files under \www\Apache22\conf\ as the error log shows some VHs that are not turned on by default.

Thanks for the help guys!
