Apache2 PHP mySQL on Win 2000

I am trying to configure Apache2 on a Windows 2000 server. Apache
comes up great, and I can see the default index page. But then the
problem starts; I can't add a page, otherwise I get a 404 error. If I
edit the index.html page, the newly loaded page shows the edits. But
if I create a new html or php page (like a phpinfo page), I get the
"page cannnot be found" 404 error??? How can I edit ther index page,
and see the edited page, yet fail to see a newly added page????
------------------

Couplea thoughts...

Try changing the error log reporting level to debug or something using
this directive. Maybe that will give more useful information.

# LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error.log.
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
#
LogLevel warn

Did you change the Options directive for any of the directory
containers in the config file? To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what
all the options do, but I've left the ones for my root directory as the
defaults, and they work as expected. Here they are:


# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with
# respect to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in
# that directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "C:/htdocs">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
# Multiviews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess
# files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

Thanks Nil,

I went back and tried your suggested edits. The "debug" level offered
more information, but still provided the same end product;
c:/www/webroot/info.php page not found. But I just edited it in that
directory, so I KNOW its there !! (uugh)

So, back to square 1 - I can see the index.html page, but I am unable
to view any other pages in a browser (.php, .htm, .html) and receive
the "cannot find page" error.

Suggestions?
thanks again in advance!
Ralph

[snip error log]

Are you sure the newly edited files can be read by the user the
Apache service is running from? Also check the security
attributes of the htdocs directory itself.

What are the Windows security settings on these files and directories?

Something you might try is:
deselect the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" in the
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Tab.

click on the "Lan Settings" button in Tools/Internet Options/Connections
Tab, and then deselect "Automatically detect settings"
checkbox.

firstly: have you added the module php5 tot he load modules ??
mine is
### PHP 5
LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll

secondly: have you put this line in??
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php this i beleive is so apache knows
what the file is and what to do with it

Then you can try the page with
phpinfo()
