Error 404 in running first PHP code [solved]

[raj_4_PHP]

Happy Halloween
I have started PHP coding yesterday though I have XAMPP installed beforehand.
https://localhost is giving correct XAMPP page in my mozilla browser, but its giving a 404 error while I am giving http://localhost/hello.php
hello.php is present in C:\xampp\htdocs and i have tried it without internet connection also.
I have gone through previous discussion on this in your pages but sorry 2 say, cudnt sorted out mine. Sorry, if I am wasting your valuable time in this silly question..
Thanx in advance

Hi raj_4_PHP,

please take a short look into your \xampp\apache\logs\error.log and your \xampp\apache\logs\access.log for further information about what request was sended and which file is expected in which directory.
Please doublecheck if your file have a .php file extension (check if you have hidden known file extensions in your Windows folder configuration).

best wishes,
Altrea

Hi Altrea,

This is something called xperience..amazing...I had hidden known file extension, which caused a .txt extension to be disappeared..After removing this, the code is working fine
Thanx will be a meager word to express my gratitude

I'm glad your issue could be solved.
Now i can wish you much fun with XAMPP and all that stuff
