404 Not Found

[johnnie-m]

I have been attempting to install PP on my computer, which is set up as a local server. I am using WAMP STACK SERVER SUITE v1.95 from devside.net (I tried wamp stack 1.7.3, but with 'no results' at all).

The Server Configuration is as follows;

Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Apache 2.2.4, MySQL 5.0.37, and PHP 5.2.1...

I have followed the PP install instructions to the very letter, but I just get 404's!

It means that you are trying access content which isnt there. Check twice used URLs.

Are you able to access any web pages you create on your new web server?

[johnnie-m]

Yes -- I have been able to access pages, but mainy html. Except for Wordpress, other PHP filrs/pages are just not recognized by the server.

I am providing additional info -- hope it helps ( I am very frustrated ).

-- Firefox / Netscape web browsers - I won't use IE, or Opera

-- Path to pixelpost: http://localhost/www/webapps/pixelpost_V1.6.0/admin/install.php
returns

NOT FOUND
The requested URL/www/webapps/pixelpost_V1.6.0/admin/install.php was not found on this server
Apache 2.2.4 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8a mod_fastcgi/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202 PHP/5.2.1 mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at localhost Port 80

I also tried file:///C:/www/webapps/pixelpost_V1.6.0/admin/install.php, and the browser opened the pixelpost directory structure (which I expected). When I clicked on install.php, a dialog box opened asking me if I want to Open the file install.php, or Save it to disk ( I didn't expect this ).

I must be doing something wrong -- it shouldn't be this hard!!!

Thanks much!

Thanks much!

Maybe ask your hoster to check what is going on. If server doesnt recognize .php files then it mean that admin must set it as PHP5 scripts.

First of all talk with your server support as it looks like server misconfiguration.

I AM THE HOST AND THE ADMIN -- the server is set up on my local machine. Your response indicates I need to modify a 'configuration file', but which one -- Apache? PHP?

Johnnie, it may be best to see if there is a support forum for WAMP or get in contact with their support department.

You are asking us to help support your local PHP installation. While we'd be glad to help, we have no idea what your configuration entails.

Coming to a pixelpost forum for help with your PHP install is like bringing your broken toaster oven to an automotive repair shop.

Once you get WAMP configured properly, we'll bend over backwards to help you out with any and all pixelpost issues :)

Good luck!

I couldn't agree more with the post by dwilkinsjr. Supporting local installs of AMP installations is a bit out of our reach.

You could try XAMPP, which is a package that contains it all. And most importantly, it works.
