Getting 404 error when accessing php page in apache in a simple php application?

I have created a simple php file sample.php under /var/www/project/dummy/test/sample.php

Here is the httpd.conf

 Listen 8080
    <VirtualHost *:8080>
            ServerName example.com
            DocumentRoot "/var/www/projects/dummy/test"
            <Directory "/var/www/projects/dummy/test">
                AllowOverride All
                Allow from all
            </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

Here is the sample.php (just checking if memcache is enabled)

<? php

if(class_exists('Memcache')){
  echo "found";
}

?>

when I access localhost:8080/sample.php or localhost:8080/test/sample.php, I get 404 error. I am unable to figure out what is going wrong.

I am concerned why localhost if failing.

To add to that, even www.example.com/sample.php is failing.

Thanks for help

P.S: I have mapped ip address in /etc/hosts as follows:

127.0.0.1 example.com www.example.com localhost

why is localhost failing?

The document root in httpd.conf is /var/www/projects/dummy/test, however you said the files were located at /var/www/project/dummy/test/sample.php. Note "project" is singular in one and plural in the other. This would cause 404's.

The Apache logs are also a good place to start when debugging 404's. I'm not sure which OS you're running, but on Ubuntu they can be found at /var/log/apache2/error.log.
