Start.php?

[master_runner]

Ok, this is my first time using ZenCart. right now I'm testing it out on my laptop.

first, a few specs in case you need them:
Windows XP SP2 Home Edition
Apache 2.2 HTTP Server
PHP 5 Interpreter
MySQL Community Server 5.0

So, anyway, ZenCart was one of the first cart programs I could make work properly, (osCommerce doesn't work on PHP5, and I didn't want to have to reinstall PHP...) so I was happy when the installer ran all the way through.

Anyway, it's now installed fine, and it works fine when I manually enter the url http://127.0.0.1/ceus/index.php (Loopback interface because the servers are on the same machine)

but, if I just enter http://127.0.0.1/ceus/, I get this error message:

Not Found

The requested URL /ceus/start.php was not found on this server.

The browser is now pointed at the URL:
http://127.0.0.1/ceus/start.php?config=config.inc.php


I checked, and start.php truly does not exist.

This is probably a simple problem, but I'm not sure and I can't find mention of this anywhere else.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

seems like you have 2 programs running in the root of this setup

No, it's just ZenCart.

start.php is not part of ZC

I had presumed as much from the fact that there is no start.php in the distribution files. but the question remains as to WHY it keeps going to start.php. perhaps it is something wrong with Apache rather than ZenCart?
I'll try looking through the config file, but I'm pretty sure index.php is set as the highest priority index page.
EDIT: Having looked, yes, it is.
