Aha. I just figured out what i was doing wrong. I actualy only have one machine, and i was trying to serve the pages i wrote on it back to myself on that machine for debugging purposes. I have Linux RHat 6.2 and did the worksattion installation, which means i do not actually have a DNS server set u[p opn my machine, or an IP address other than what i defined in "hosts"...... I guess that means that i can't use virtual hosts...(told you i was a newbie :p) I could try and install a dns server on my machine to do what i specified above; do you think it is worth it though ? The thing is i do have quite a few concurrent sites i would like to test, and to avoid me having to change the paths i use in my scrtipts each time i changed server (ie when i send the sites to the internet hosts), i was hoping to use relative paths (instead of /home/carrierworld/forms/script.php, use just /forms/scripts.php, and set the server path to be /home/carirerworld/; this is useful bweecause the path to our site on the internet host is smthing like /home /WWW8/carrierworld.com/htdocs/, so all the relative paths would be relative to the root folder of the site, namely /home/WWW8/.carrierowlrd.com/htdocs for the server and /home/carrierworld/ for me....) The only way i can think of doing that would be to change the server directory in httpd.conf each time i want to debug a different website and restart apache........ surely there must be a better way ?
