I install Exponential 3. Apache and MySQL are working. When I want to initiating the setup wizard first he ask me to open the file or to download a file. When I say: open the file than a PHP editor - who is installed on my computer - opens (PHP Coder Pro!)!
I use the instruction given on the website from ez.no. After unpacking Exponential I rename the folder in 'my_site' en put it in the the folder htdocs from Apache. I open the browser (IE) and type: http://localhost/my_site/index.php. When I type: 'http://localhost', than I get the opening page from Apache. I made also a 'hello world' page in html. No problems when I openend this page!
So, can somebody helps me with this problem? Thanx!

sounds like you are running localy on your machine - which means that you need to set your apache config up - probably 'virtual hosts' - to define the new site 'my_site' area and so 'serve' the pages to your browser ....bad explanation but .....it may help ...

alternatively just use the existing web area as a default for testing

Dimitri,
Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I'm running locally. When I type localhost/index.html or 127.0.0.1/index.html I can see my selfmade 'hallo world' page. During installing Apache asked me my domain name etc. What I must do? I must change something in httpd.conf? Can you help me to install the virtual host?
