"Connection refused by localhost..." but why?

I was trying a simple php script for learning myself. The file was created in vi editor and the filename is 'hello.php'. The file is saved in /home/mydir directory. The script is as follows :

Code:

html>

<head>

<title>php test</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>

</body>

</html>

Now if I want to run the file in Mozilla Firefox with "http://localhost/hello.php" then it shows an alert "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost".

Please help me with your opinion what is the mistake I am doing.

Regards

The only way you would be able to access the file like that would be if you were running a web server on your machine and /home/mydir was the default directory for the web server.

Actually I am not able to httpd on. Is the problem generating from this? If I want to turn on httpd service then I am getting an error message
