kweitzel:
you call it like a normal website ... what happenes if you call http://localhost ?

Did you actually install WB on this environment?

cheers

mathetos:
With http://localhost I get the whole Xampp welcome screen, I can go to phpmyadmin, I can do it all.

Sorry for my naiveté but ... no I didn't install WB on my desktop. I was hoping to just view some files, not have to re-setup my whole setup, but that is probably exactly the problem, I need a system to point to where PHP is and the database and everything...

I'm learning... thanks!

kweitzel:
This XAMPP System is nothing else than a Webserver with FTP, MySQL and Mailserver. Just like the server you make your pages available on to the public.

That means, you need to install WB in this environment like you do on the webserver ...

You could look into the ZEND Engine (http://www.zend.com/) but I don't know exactly what that one does (exept providing an environment for PHP to work on).

cheers

Hello,

did you store your local .php pages in the htdocs dir of xampp?
has the first page of your .php pages the name index.php?

mathetos:
Thanks Klaus, thanks Matthias, I've figured it out.

I was dragging and dropping my .php files into Firefox, which of course made the file read like "file://C:..." instead of being from "http://localhost/wb..."

Once I did that AND set up WB correctly everything worked perfectly.

In the end it was really not difficult and it nice to have a FULL local copy to work on.

Thanks for the tip!
