Hi,

I am a newbie to php and currently using redhat linux 8 (2.14.1 (Psyche)

I had installed Apache Web server from the list of packages and it installed the php 4.2.. version as well.

I then created a simple hello.php file and saved it in /home/user/ directory and tried to execute it using mozilla by writting "http://localhost/hello.php". The browser pops up the following error:-

"The connection was refused when attemting to contact local host"

Any ideas to what i need to do . Any help is very much appreciated

By the way the current security settings are set to high and also do not allow the use of http,ftp... protocols . I had tried changing these settings as well but they are always reset to high i.e will not change what so ever i do.
