[PHP-INSTALL] Cannot run http://localhost/hello.php or http://127.0.0.1/hello.php

Hi,

I am new to PHP and also never installed Web Server in my PC. My PC has
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Operating System. To test PHP, I am following
http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php and followed the instructions to
install the package containing PHP, Apache Web Server.

I installed the software in C:\xampp folder. This folder contains all the
sub folders including C:\xampp\php. I can start/stop Web Server using GUI
for XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.1. The "php.ini" file exists in C:\xampp\php
folder. The version of PHP is 5.6.8.

I tried http://localhost/hello.php placing the file in C:\xampp or
C:\xampp\php or C:\xampp\apache or C:\xampp\htdocs folder. But each time, I
get the following error.

I followed the installation instruction thoroughly and did not recall
seeing any failure or error messages. I followed Readme file and your FAQ.
So far have not been able to resolve the issue.

Any help to resolve the issue will be greatly appreicaited.

Thank you.
