Using PHPStorm

I have no idea about PHPStorm. But I do know if you have the file in a subfolder in the folder you typically put your projects, you should use http://localhost/projectFolder.

After some time i have finally figured it out. Project folder has to be in the /xampp/htdocs/[your folder]. Plus in address bar i had to remove localhost:63342/simple_web/index.php/hello/chris to localhost/simple_web/index.php/hello/chris and it works. Thank you ted for your earlier post it pointed me in the right direction.

I think you'll find the answer here; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19607345/previewing-a-slim-framework-project-with-phpstorm7-results-page-not-found-while

Instead of running your project from phpstorm, run it from xampp (I had the same problem. I tried the solution in the link, and it didn't work. Instead I start my project from Easyphp (simular to xampp) and it works)

do you have apache web server working? Are you browsing via localhost?

localhost

Without code there is no real way to answer this. Have you tried a simple php file with only an echo and tried to preview it? If so, did it work? If not, then there is a problem with your setup. If that worked and your more detailed code does not, it is a coding problem that we can try to help with if you post the code.

Simple page works fine. I also tried downloading the treehouse files and running it. The 404 Not found with the The page you are looking for could not be found. Check the address bar to ensure your URL is spelled correctly. If all else fails, you can visit our home page at the link below. Visit the Home Page

then when i add the /hello/name in the address bar i get 404 Not found that's why i was thinking it was setting or something in phpstorm.

D:\xampp\php\php.exe D:\PhpstormProjects\web_simple\index.php

Edited to format error code.

Works fine if you don't run it from PHPstorm thank you for your help.
