Localhost/info.php is showing Object not found what to do?

votes

I successfully installed xampp 1.8.3(windows-7-x64) and then started Apache server. I can access the server through localhost but can't see the localhost/info.php file. My friend also did the same and he can view the php info.

The error is

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404

localhost

Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.6

I'm very new to this so maybe I'm asking silly question. Please bear with me.

The error is quite clear: there is no file called info.php inside your document root. Have you created it, is it readable by apache (should't be too much of a problem on windows though), and is it in the right directory? - Johannes H.

What happens when you enter this into your browser: localhost/?phpinfo=1 - JDJ

Check to see if there is even an info.php file under C:\xampp\htdocs\ - JDJ

Check the htdocs directory in the xampp installation directory (e.g: C:\xampp\htdocs) whether there is a file name info.php. Maybe there is no such file. If so, create a file named info.php in the htdocs. To view your php info, replace the info.php content with this code:

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

After save file info.php in the htdocs directory, browse localhost/info.php again in your web browser.

<?php

?>

Now I got it there is a tab for phpinfo. No need for info.php file in htdocs.
