Firstly, this is an HTTPD configuration problem not really a PHP one, so
you are asking in the wrong place.

Secondly, start by getting it working with index.htm - don't make things
harder by trying to do two things at once.

Once you have index.htm working, make a basic file 'phpinfo.php':

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Just that - no more & no less. To see if PHP is interacting correctly
with Apache (it is Apache is it?) point your browser to
httpd://phpinfo.php and you should get a big configuration page up.




As to the Apache configuration:

By definition, localhost = 127.0.0.1

It should be in your hosts file already.

I do have a line in my httpd.config
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

but I'm not sure I actually need it.

So your entries would be:

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost localhost>
DocumentRoot "e:/training"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
