WampServer

I installed WAMP5 and left everything as the default (folder to install the files, etc.) It said that if I put a PHP file in the root folder of the installation (i.e. the "www" folder) or if I put a folder in the www folder, I could run a PHP file from there.

I created a folder "mycode" in the "www" folder which contains a bunch of PHP files including "index.php", and typed the following into the browser:

[localhost]

and the program gave an error ("Internal server error 500". But when I copied the "index.php" file from "mycode" to "www" and typed

[localhost]

it worked as intended.

I don't want to have to copy all the files from "mycode" to "www" in order for the code to work. What can I do?

It's not the file index.php give you the error, but might be some other file that conflict w/ this index.php, so check to make sure it's not the case; also, if you have .htaccess in that "mycode" folder, check to make sure all rules are accessible w/ this wamp

in order for your php code to work, it needs to be parsed by apache. apache can only process php files where it expects them (DocumentRoot setting). So, they need to be put in the c:\wamp\ww folder.
