Ok, I believe I have it working....meaning when I click on Live Data View, I see the date appear in my datetest.php page But Im still confused... The succesful configuration (providing I am not suffering from premature exhuberation) is Testing server folder: c:\xampp\htdocs\barrister (the local settings remained My Documents\Sites\barrister) URL prefix : http://localhost/barrister/ How does that reconcile that in the httpd.conf, the server root is C:/xampp/apache?

That's server root; what you want is DocumentRoot :) here's a bit of an httpd.conf; these are the two bits of concern to you: # # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # 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:/xampp/apache/htdocs" ---AND--- # # Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow # particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as # you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it # below. # # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. # <Directory "G:/Apache/httpd/htdocs"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: #Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks # #AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. #. Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> --- if you read the comments aswell all should be explained :)
