I have an HP HPE-450t running 64 bit Windows 7. I downloaded PHP/
MySQL. In the system tray is an E and the bubble says “EasyPHP
(Started)”.

In c:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP – 5.3.4.0\www there is a text file
php1.php created with notepad containing only “<?php echo 123 ; ?>”.

When I type http://localhost/php1.php into the address bar of
Internet Explorer Version 8.0.7600.16385 it says “Connecting” then
“Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage.” If I click on
Diagnose Connection Problems it says “The remote device or resource
won’t accept the connection.”

Why?

Is your web server set up for the correct path to your file? Is it set
up to parse PHP files? Is your web server even started?

First thing you need to do is get your IIS configured properly.

Possibly because you don't have a web server that's integrated with the
php (or any web server at all).

You need a webserver of some sort running on the machine to handle http
requests. The webserver then has to know how to call the php handler for
web pages with php code.

At the moment you probably have php installed as a scripting language.
If you want to play with a php / apache / mysql environment, google for
"wamp" (Windows Apache Mysql Php)

I've googled for EasyPHP and it appears to bundle the Apache web server.
You must make Apache work before you can use PHP. Whatever, I'm not
familiar with EasyPHP so I can't really help.

(The idea of using a bundle is that it configures everything for you. If
it doesn't, I see little advantage over using the original programs.)

EasyPHP does not use port 80. The easiest way to find out where EasyPHP
is to move over the "E" icon down by your clock, bring up the context
menu and choose 'Browser Local Web.'

Assuming you mean to right click, I get:

Help
Log File
Configuration
Explore
Administration
Local Web
Restart
Stop
Exit

If I click on Local Web it lists the one file name that I gave earlier
php1.php

Now what?

Right click is one way to bring up the context menu, if doing so with a
mouse (and not using a mouse where the buttons have been switched for a
left-handed user). It can also be brought up using the keyboard key for
context menus...

Yes.. it should say php1.php in the directory, but look at the address
bar. Your URL should say something like

http://localhost:8080/php1.php

Instead of the

http://localhost/php1.php

The *port* setting there is the key difference. As I stated before,
EasyPHP, out of the box, does not use the default port 80 -- so you have
to specify a port number in your URL.

http://localhost:8080/php1.php

gave me the same result - cannot display, won't accept.

I Googled it and it said something about Listen NUMBER in a file
HTTPD.CON so I searched and there are 3 files HTTPD.CONF 1 includes
Listen 8080 and 2 had Listen 127.0.0.1.8888 so I tried 8888 next and
it works.

Last question: What does a PHP programmer (not a systems
administrator) do when he gets errors like this and the documentation
is just a list of special case problems and none seem to be this
problem - where do people get help?

Thanks,

Charlie

What webserver are you running? Have you tried WampServer?

Glad you got it to work... it should have come up to that URL
automatically when you used the 'Explore Local Web' option, or however it
was phrased.

I can't answer for anyone else, but I can tell you how I did it...

Intense curiosity about everything .. sticking my nose in every menu
option and every config file of programs that I used ...

LOTS of time on Google...

A good general feel of the underlying disciplines of how everything
connects together...

For example: This is something that I thought it would be excellent for
everyone who does any WEB-based stuff to know.

When you using your web browser, and you type in an address into your
address bar.. lets say

< http://www.google.com >

What all happens, both on the side of the local web browser *and* on the
server when you give that request?

Knowing the answer to that question can really really help cut down
debugging time because you know what kinds of errors come up and the
different stages where there might be a problem.

You go to EasyPHP and ask them. It's their package, and their
configuration, after all.

Apache. No WampServer.
