[news.eclipse.technology.phoenix] Re: Unable to get WTP/PHPEclipse/XAMPP

[Stefan Langer <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm assuming you are on a windows machine.
Try specifiing the document root without c:. For this to work apache 
(XAMPP) must be installed on the same drive. Or try using backslash 
instead of normal slash. It might be that the path is not correctly 
interpreted.

For testing purposes it would be helpful to use the following index.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

This will simply print out information about your php installation. If 
you see this page without any warnings then XAMPP is correctly setup.
