cannot test any php files at http://localhost HELP

[ateet101]

i used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP to set everything up
i made a test.php file and put it in /var/www when i put http://localhost/test.php it will not load the page. i am sure that apache is running because when i try to start it it says apache is running

When you say it will not load the page, what does it do? Crash? Time out? Give a 404? Show a blank page? Show meaningless output?

[ateet101]

the page does not load at all. it keeps saying loading but doesn't load. it time-out after 2 minutes

What's the code in your test script?

[ateet101]

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

[Zelmo]

And you have apache2, libapache2-mod-php5, and php5 installed?
Does /etc/apache2/mods-enabled have entries for php5.conf and php5.load?

[ateet101]

yes to both questions

[Zelmo]

Hmm, well, the install script should have done this already, but try restarting the Web server:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

i just reinstalled everything again but now when i try to test a php file using http://localhost/test.php it gives me an error "Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0"
