Hi all,

I have Mandrake 10 installed on my machine. I want to be able to create php files and view them with Konqueror. Do I need to have apache set up to do this?

This is what I've tried:

Mysql is installed and running. Php is installed. When I create an html file on the desktop and then double click it with Konqueror I can view the html page as if it was being served on the web (i.e: not the source code).

However when I create a php file, I get the nice php icon indicating that it is a php file, but when I try to open it with Konqueror it says that it was expecting a folder not a file and it shows nothing.

Thanks

Yes, you need Apache configured to work with PHP and MYSQL if you want to.

Okay, so I installed apache and it is running. I can see it when I go to Services and is listed as httpd.

Then I used ifconfig (as root) to find out my ip address and got the following output:

Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

I assumed my ip address to be 127.0.0.1

So I then went to Konqueror and tried the following addresses:

http://127.0.0.1
http://localhost
http://localhost.
http://127.0.0.1.com
http://255.0.0.0.com
http://255.0.0.0

and just got the following messages:

An error occurred while loading ......
Could not connect to host ....


I'd greatly appreciate any help with this matter,

Thanks
