http://localhost/PhpProject1/index.php I always get the error 404 Not Found

thanks

I had a similar problem once before. I do not know if what I did to resolve the issue was correct or not, but this is what I did:

1. sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

1. Change the following:

     #DocumentRoot /var/www
     DocumentRoot /home/user

1. Change the following:

     #<Directory /var/www>
     <Directory /home/user>

1. Save the file.

Replace the "user" above with your userid.

That should do it. Try running your script again via the browser.

when I run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I get the following error

test@ubuntu:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite test@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart * Restarting web server apache2 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs

It looks like another server is already trying to bind to port 80, so Apache can't. Try the 'netstat -l' command to find out what.

I don't know what the last line ("Unable to open logs") means.

I have installed xampp now the problem is how to set ubuntu to deploy php projects under it.now when I create php project in netbeans then run it inside the ide I get the following error The requested URL /NetBeansProjects/index.php was not found on this server.

problem is solved
