index.php not loading HELP

hello all,

I have installed apache and php following the instructions on this link

which was very helpful:
http://www.tanguay.at/installPhp5.php5

problem:

OS: Windows XP
INDEX.PHP NOT LOADING

important: followed the instruction on the above link and added
index.php to dicrectoryIndex on httpd.conf. and some scripts.

I write either localhost or 127.0.0.1 which is basically the same and
the status is ..opening http://localhost... and NOTHING HAPPENS.

PLEASE HELP.

Thank you

What else changed? You had it working a couple of weeks ago. Or at
least you could load index.php.

Can you still load http://localhost/.../index.php?

What's in your Apache log?

(Top posting fixed)

It could be a lot of things related to your installation. Personally,
if I were installing it for the first time I'd install WAMP- it's much
easier. Even after installing several by hand I find getting everything
working takes some work.

The first question would be: can you do just a basic index.html page?
See if Apache itself is working. If so, does a phpinfo() page work?
Does it show the correct information? This will tell you if php is
basically working.

Also, as I suggested in alt.www.webmasters, try alt.apache.conf iguration
for starts. See if you configuration is correct.

P.S. When you post to multiple groups, please cross-post - don't
multipost. And this group uses bottom-posting (like this) as a
standard, not top posting (like your response). Thanks.

Did you check your Apache 'http.conf' config file for the
'DirectoryIndex ' option as mentioned before in this thread.

You need to add 'index.php' to the end of the 'DirectoryIndex ' option.
Once this is added when you load a subdirectory in a browser. apache
will search for that file and if it finds it will load it as the first
page.

Example from my http.config file:

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php

Thanks in Advance...

Greetings, While loading data into Sql Server using BCP utility, we have to explicitly need to drop the indexes. then after loading the data we recreate them. I just want to know if this is possible through some other ways. i mean in DB2 we have an option of index rebuild option which takes care of this job. Do we have anything as such in BCP or is there some other way? Any help will be appreciated
