Regardless of what address I type into localhost it always calls index.php?
(I'm on a MacOSx Tiger 10.4.11)
Read on for the sad history...
I had MAMP running just fine.
BUT wanted to work with the Zend_Framework so I installed it.
Following an online video to learn the proper directory structure, I saw that the author was not running it through MAMP but the local Sites Directory.
So, I asked some webdev people if anyone knew how to get the localhost to run from two different locations which for me would have been:
Users/****/Applications/MAMP/htdocs
and Users/****/Sites
Someone suggested the Alias Directive.
So a google search took me here with directions for MacOSX Tiger!
http://www.paulruffle.com/osx.htm (scroll to bottom right on page to see the directions I followed)
This meant playing with the settings in NetInfoManager and the apache httpd.conf file.
So, I did as directed and had no luck. So i decided to undo what I had done in following the directions...
deleted the copy of the localhost I created in Net Info
deleted the code I'd added to the httpd.conf file
I restarted the computer but MAMP was not working properly anymore...
by that I mean: regardless of what I typed into the local address bar, the same page was called.
So, if I typed:
http://localhost:8888/peanuts.html
or
http://localhost:8888/takemetojapan.hmtl
or
http://localhost:8888/thisisnuts.php
I ALWAYS get this parse error code:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/index.php on line 8
So, the SAME page is being sought (/MAMP/htdocs/index.php) and generating this error, regardless of the request. So, I'm thinking there's some configuration that's off but since I'm not familiar enough with how it ought to look, I don't know where to look for this.
I did check my php.ini file to see that the directory root was set to /Applications/MAMP/htdocs - it is.
I deleted my MAMP folder and reinstalled.
The MAMP start page works and indicates the server is working properly but the misdirect problem remains.
I have restarted the computer several times.
Out of curiosity, I decided to delete index.php from the htdocs folder.
Then I typed:
http://localhost:8888/indexplaypage.php into the address bar and here's the new, more succinct error
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
WHERE should i be looking for this stubborn path conf?
Can anyone help?
