apache help

Mar 14.2004

I am making and testing a site on my computer. i have php, mysql and apache all set up.

i have the site now. but i am using the site root paths.

like /news/new/index.php instead of linking like ../news/new/index.php.

so when i upload it to my server i don’t have to change anything. but when i try to view my page it looks for my files in the root. [url]http://localhost/file[/url] but becuase i have them in a folder it can not find them.

so it is looking for [url]http://localhost/file[/url]

but the file is at [url]http://localhost/folder/file.[/url]

so in apache how do i set that folder as the root. if that is possible?

You have to edit the config file. You will be familiar with it as you need to alter it when setting Apache up, though, i cant even remember its name..

One of the Apache users will be able to help you out more..

Regards.

DocumentRoot can be modified there...

changes will take effect after restarting the server...

@CyCoMar 14.2004 — ...I believe that in the httpd.conf file, there are provisions for adding the index extensions you want the server to look for in the DirectoryIndex section...just add index.php there
