PHP Apache communication

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

[AranhaHunter]

I have to install Apache and PHP on my computer after formatting it, but I'm having problems. I know apache and php are communicating because if I make changes to php.ini and restart the apache server, it complains, however when I put phpinfo.php on my folder c:\sites\creativecabana (I have also saved it on c:\apache2\apache2\htdocs to test) and they show me a 404 not found, The requested URL /phpinfo.php was not found on this server.
Please help

I can't post the whole file because it's not accepting it for some reason

this is the part that I changed on php.ini

; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
; if PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you SHOULD set doc_root
; if you are running php as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS)
; see documentation for security issues. The alternate is to use the

doc_root= "C:/Apache2/Apache2/htdocs"

this is the part I changed on http.conf

#ExtendedStatus On
LoadModule php5_module "c:/Apache2/php5/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/Apache2/php5"
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache2/Apache2/htdocs"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.

Nobody? I changed the
NameVirtualHost * to NameVirtualHost *:80 and nothing happened. I also get apache's page when I go to localhost, but a forbidden message when I go to 127.0.0.1. Finnally, Apache keeps complaining when I uncomment extension=php_mysql.dll, even when I change the extension dir to
extension_dir = "c:\apache2\apache2\php5\ext\"
It says PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\apache2\apache2\php5\ext\php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
