Did you clear your browser cache?

Is the favicon saved as a .ico?

Tried adding the favicon.ico to your directory root where your index.php file resides?

Clearing browser cache depends on the browser you are using: Chrome, Fire Fox, Internet Explorer, Opera etc etc

Did you try opening your site in another browser?

Favicons are pesky things. If you saved it as an .ico file in the proper directory, it'll show up eventually.
