Clicking On Top Leads to Apache Page

[Guest]

I have a local development system running on an XP machine with mysql, php and apache

 

OSC sits in a folder below "htdocs"

 

When in OSC I can, by clicking on the "Top" link (at top left) climb out of OSC to the Apache test page. Whilst I can retrace my steps, "it dont look professional"

 

Is there a methodology of preventing this please?

 

I have considered installing into htdocs but as there is the various apache files, other folders etc things could get a little messy

 

Any pointers would be gratefully recieved

 

Thank you

I'm thinking somewhere maybe you didn't add .php files as a default page in your server setup.

 

1st try this if you have more than one index file in your folder. index.asp or index.php or default.asp or a combo of them.... remove the files, but keep just the index.php file. If more that one default-index type:

index.htm

index.html

index.php

default.asp

default.htm

................. having all of those actual files in that same directory can cause random problems linking to the home page.

 

 

Also, try this:

http://localhost/index.php and see what displays. If it displays the "file not found" error, that would mean that the index.php is missing.

You would probably better installing it in your htdocs/root folder. As far as the other files that are there that belong to the apache.. they can be deleted later, just install/add your files to your root folder, ,,, then delete the un-needed once it's setup and running properly. Other than that, you probably could have misconfigured something somewhere.
