PHP was working, now after loading PHPEclipse, it doesn't

[Michael]

After installing PHPEclipse, I can no longer open php files in the
browser - I simply get a white page - no errors. The funny thing is
that php files CAN be opened in the embedded browser that is contained
within the Eclipse IDE.

I'd really appreciate any help you all can offer on this; I'm out of
ideas.

Thanks,
Michael McDonnell

>>I can no longer open php files in the browser
so you have installed php + server ?
do you look for errors in your server config file?

Ksu,

Thanks for you reply.

1. Regarding the first question, everything was working before I
installed PHPEclipse. It's like PHPEclipse "disconnected" the browser
from the PHP world.

2. I looked in the error log file and there were no relevant errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
M. McDonnell

Ksu,

I realized I answered the second question incorrectly. I have not
checked the server config file. Can you tell me what the name of the
config file is?

Thanks,
M. McDonnell

My guess is that PHP eclipse has snaffled the ".php" extension as a file
type so that clicking on a php file opens php-eclipse. It may have
been (I HATE WINDOWS REGISTRY) associated as a URL before .

Try sticking "http://localhost/" into your browser and seeing what
happens. You should see a directory listing of the server's web root.
A horrible but effective fix is to bookmark a good place to start
picking files from and stuff it in a bowser tab at start-up. (Mozilla)

I used to install Apache on my computer to test everything and put PHP
over it

so in
httpd.conf
....
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Server/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
....
If you dont have something like this your php scripts dont "compile"
What software do you use?
