Answer 1

1 did you start apache server from the cpanel?
2 if yes did you get a confirmation that the server is running on localhost:80?
3 typing localhost in your browser takes you to index.html file in htdocs?

if all the answers to these questions are affirmative,
1 open the htdocs folder from the button provided in the cpanel
2 delete all the files from the htdocs directory

<?php echo 'it works'; ?>
