WampServer

hello everyone:
i have installed wamp sever but i dont know how to use it in order to start writing php scripts and test them .i am really confused please help
by the way i am using windows xp

Firstly, do you see wamp welcome page when type in browser as follows?

[localhost]

If yes, then create your_project_file.php in wamp/www/your_project_folder, then type in browser as follows:

[localhost]

And you should see your_project_file.php running.

Hope this help.

but nothing is appearing nither the wamp index nor my files
please help

That means your apache is not working at all. Check tray icon to see if all services runing. If not and using sp2, disable windows firewall. If using 3-party firewall, enable port 80 for http as well as in router. If using IIS and/or skyle, port 80 already conflict, disable them or change listen to different port in wamp/apache2/conf/http.conf.
Hope this help

thanks for your interest yfastud,
i did all what u told me but still nothing is appearing
any idea?

Can you confirm that your wamp services all working?

you said nothing appears... did you get any type of error message? we can get a better idea of how to help if we can get a more detailed idea of what is happening.

yes all services are running and no error message appears

Post your error log here, someone might be able to help you out.

i have installed the wamp server program first,then i installed the php 4 add on.i did not install it directly on c: but i created a new folder inside c:.i have some php files so i created a folder inside the www folder and i called it my project.after i switch on the wamp server it is said that all services are running.i have windows xp pro sp2 and its fire wall is switched off.i did not make any configuration for the apache or php or any thing.when i type
[localhost] nothing appears nither the wamp index page nor an error message.i dont know what to do and the problem is i dont have a remote web hosting account so to do it locally.if anybody has an idea or can teach me setup the iis server istead or anything

Do you have router or McAfee/Norton?

Point your web browser to [localhost] and tell us exactly what is the output.

yes i have McAfee installed and while setup McAfee askes if it should grant access for the mysql and for the apache.i choose grant access once.i typed [localhost] then itis written that the browser is loading then nothing appears.yestarday i installed software package similar to wamp called "xampp" and while setting up apache an error message appeared said that there is an error in the httpd.conf.i dont know maybe i need setup something.

He he... actually you got got the answer right in front of you already. You should select "Grant access" means always, instead "Grant access once", that why it locks up your wamp server. Either edit McAfee to grant access for wamp always, or if not sure how to do it, just uninstall and reinstall wamp, and remember to pick a right choice this time.
Hope this help

the same problem my friend.i put wampserver.exe and apacheserver.exe as a trusted applications(allowing full access) and again all services are running but when i type
[localhost] nothing appears.i am about to be crazy
