please tel me what to do ,

i have php, mysql installed in my machine.

thank you....

that means your indexes is turned on in apache conf...and index.php is not listed in directoryindex directive...

check those two directives..

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current...directoryindex

Yep apache defaults its search index. You need to add index.php in there to get it to start. You set this in the httpd.conf file. Usally in etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. It is a ways down where you add it. Be sure to restart apache after you have made changes in there.

It is also a wise idea to turn indexing off on a production apache server. Please look into the above mentioned link and turn off the indexing for security reasons.

hi all,


thanks for your time, you are all right but, exact reason for my issue was, today i found it. It was missing php packages. During above installation i just installed php like

yum install php

so only few of the packages installed now i tried installing like

yum install php*

so now im done.

thank you.
