WampServer

Hi,

I have installed wamp on windows 2k3, now when ever i start the wamp and try to open some php file it is directly showing the code and not executing file. and this problem is not happening all the apps.

for eg. [localhost]

it shows me it's php code and not execute it. am i missing something in setup ?

Thanks,
Maulik

put all your website files (php, html, css, images, etc) in your c:\wamp\www folder. to use http://localhost/test/test.php make a folder called test in your www folder. now put your test.php script in your test folder.

Hi,

i'm having the same problem.

[localhost]

gives me a blank screen....

What do we have to do to get the php to execute?

thank you!
c.

btw i am using the long tags

ie.
<?php

so that's not causing the problem.

i have all my files in /wamp/www/

So why the blank screen?

thanks

Update:

my php is now executing.

i will document here what i did in case it might help anyone else.

I uninstalled and then re-installed the latest version of WAMP.

In re-installing i chose a different Root Directory different from /wamp/www/ In fact i made my Root Directory the same as where i've been storing all my website files...

ie. /my documents/my websites/

That was the one thing i did differently.

i did note however, on the second installation, my firewall asked me to give permissions to Apache and MySQL which it did not do on the first installation. This made me wonder if i had firewall issues during or after the first installation.

If you are having the blank screen problem, but putting your files in the correct ROOT DIRECTORY and using long tags ie <?php then you should try viewing your .php files with your firewall turned off. Then you will see if your firewall is interfering or not.

btw i don't know why the firewall would interfere with files viewed locally, but perhaps there is something to this observation.... it's just a suggestion you could try.

Good luck,
caley.

your do not access your www folder like this
[localhost]


use

[localhost]
