Localhost displays index.php or index.html. Typically servers are setup by default with index.php as the initial document file to. I have XAMPP installed and it. Participate in discussions with other Treehouse members and learn. XAMPP and created a new file index.php in the ht.docs folder. The folder you get the index.

I'm having issues with an additional screen as well. I'm using Windows 8.1. I get the exact same initial screen of Localhost with Index of/ at the top of the page followed by testsite.com listed as the only folder. However when I click the folder I get a second screen with Index of/testsite.com atop the page listing a Parent Directory underneath below which is a lone file called index.php.txt.

Upon clicking this php.txt? File I can access my saved index.php file. Is this a really big deal? Or can I just resume work having the extra click thru screen???

Hp Mediasmart Server Ex490 Installation Software Download. 80 doesn't work in windows 7 because a service is using it. How ever, its a simple fix, just go to 'Services' and disable 'World Wide Web Publishing Service'.

Then port 80 is free to use on localhost. (Don't worry your internet will work just fine disabling that service). It'll auto re-enable on next boot so you have to remember that.
