Hi,

What is the output of localhost ?

If AMPPS Apache is working. Files and directories of /Applications/AMPPS/www will be listed. So check the output of http://localhost, you can find which Apache is currently running.

There is also one Apache that comes with Mac. So my guess is, that mac's apache is running instead of AMPPS Apache

Run the following command to check which Apache is working :


if you see something like /usr/sbin/httpd then Bundled Apache is working

Hi,

AMPPS Apache is working.

Now place the file test.php in /Applications/AMPPS/www/test.php

Let the contents be :


Then access http://localhost/test.php

Let me know the output.

And where do you place the file sli.php ??

Hi,

If you want to access php files it should be present in /Applications/AMPPS/www folder

For e.g if you want to access http://localhost/test/sli.php, you must have a /Applications/AMPPS/www/test/sli.php

Someone told me I get this error because I haven't mapped apache to a directory. I need to map apache to a directory. But how and where do I create the directory?

One default directory is already mapped with Apache i.e /Applications/AMPPS/www you can put .php files directly there.

You can create alias, domains in AMPPS Enduser panel to map directories with apache.
