Action Failed to navigate to URL: http://localhost:8080/file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/corne.lombard/Application%20Data/NuSphere/PhpED/projects/myfirsttest.php?DBGSESSID=-1 3:24:48 PM

I am new to the tool and keep on getting the error message above no matter what simple code i use. I copied and pasted php and mysql code from a manual to test the editor functionality but it errors out before the code runs. Do i need to change a setting somewhere in the tool that i am unfamiliar with ? Please be as specific as possible.

The URL is incorrect, as it has a file path tagged on the end of it.

http://localhost:8080/file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/corne.lombard/Application%20Data/NuSphere/PhpED/projects/myfirsttest.php

As a first step I would recommend you tell us what your basic project settings are:

Root directory
Root URL
Remote root directory
Default file to run

Going through the Settings Wizard might assist you with adjusting the settings if they are incorrect.

Also, you are using a proxy server port (8080). Whilst not necessarily incorrect (as it might not really be a proxy server), you might need to double-check that. Are you using Apache at the default port of 80, IIS with PHP, or the built-in NuSphere SRV server? My personal preference for web site development is Apache, but if you are just starting out then having a play with SRV might be easiest.

Remember that NuSphere have their own Tech Platform which you can download and install to give you a Apache/PHP environment, then you can optionally install MySQL database if you want that as well.
