Test Server Apache Problems

[driveflexfuel]

First I am sorry if this is not the best place to post this message. I was not sure where to ask.

I installed apache and php on my win XP Pro platform and everything seems to be working ok. I am able to type in Localhost/ and it displays the directory. My problem is it will not load index.php. It will only load the directory contents. I have been racking my brain for hours if someone knows how to fix this please help out.

I have tried changing all htaccess files to htaccess.txt which did nothing

Information from httpd.conf

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
</IfModule>


AccessFileName .htaccess

I also placed a .htaccess file in the directory with this line within it.

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

If anyone has any ideas I will gladly try them

If you have index.html in the directory, does it display that?

[driveflexfuel]

no it just opens the directory and shows the index.html file listed. you have to click on index.html in order to view the site.

Only thing I can suggest, uninstall everything, then download this and install, then check if everything works:

Is mod_dir installed and activated? If mod_info is installed and active, it will list all active modules. Try going to "http://localhost/server-info". You can also check in httpd.conf for mod_dir.

LoadModule dir_module        path/to/mod_dir.so
...
AddModule mod_dir.c

I did as lhyman suggested. The package he suggested was newer and more up-to-date.

Thanks for the help.
