[KLUG Members] Can't connect to localhost

[Jon Smitley]

Another step accomplished.  I now get a response that asks me if I want
to open the addressed ".php" file. If I open I get the file not found on
this server.  This happens with both the -

DaDaBIK - http://localhost/my_dadabik/install.php

and

phpMyAdmin - http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php

I do not know what the "install" address will produce in DadaBIK, but
the phpMyAdmin documentation says that I should a welcome screen.  Could
this have something to do with PHP.  I installed the PHP that came with
my distro Suse8.1 Pro.  Again thanks Bob, I (or should I say we) have
made progress, I think.
