The good news is that Apache is installed correctly. > i went to the directory folder where apache group is installed Which directory is this? And how did you discern as much? Did you enter this directory manually during the MSI package installation? You need to be creating your documents (e.g., index.html) in Apache's so-called "document root". If you examine "conf/httpd.conf" (this file should be in your Apache program directory), you should find the "DocumentRoot" directive a couple hundred lines into the file. This is the directory to which you need to be adding your own files. Also, are you browsing to http://localhost only? Or are you specifying a file, like http://localhost/my-file.html? In the former case, Apache will look for and serve "index.html", if it exists (otherwise it will return a 404 response). -Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
