OldDeadBug Workbench 2.1 Installation help!!
Any Workbench users out there that can help me understand why I can't run Workbench. I followed all of the Installation instructions as best I could, but ultimately when I tried to go to https://localhost/workbench, I get a Not Found error page.
The last instruction was to unzip the Workbench zip file into the "web server's document root., which, if I understand this correctly would be the C:\www\docs folder.
The localhost\phpinfo.php worked just fine, and that file was saved into the same directory. But the Workbench folder isn't found at all by the browser, let alone the login page that allows me to login to Salesforce.
Does anyone else use this tool who may be able to help me understand what would cause my browser to find the phpinfo file, but not the Workbench - other than the one is a file and the other is a folder. Was I supposed to dump the entire contents of the Workbench directory into the docs folder, or just the folder itself?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi VeMan,
I am the developer of Workbench, and I apoligize for finding this posting a year later, but hope I can still get you up and running. There have been a lot of exciting enhancements since 2.1, so hopefully you'll give it another try.
So, each web server's configuration is different, which one of the reasons it makes it a little tricky, but generally there will be an "htdocs" folder that you drop anything you want exposed on the web (or at least on your intranet). You should be able to just drop the /workbench folder itself into the web root folder, which it sounds like you have done. What I am thinking is happening is your web server might not be automatically finding the login page (should get an auto redirect from the index page), so try this:
https://localhost/workbench/login.php
Something else that might be happening is that yoy don't have SSL enabled, so try a plain HTTP connection, like this:
http://localhost/workbench/login.php
If you are still having problems, I'd recommend trying a different web server. You can also look at the main Workbench forum here:
http://groups.google.com/group/forceworkbench
I'd also recommend that you try this with the latest 2.4.17 version:
