RE: [PHP] newbie has include path error & new problem

Thanks for your help. The server document root is: /etc/httpd/htdocs. Perhaps I need to point to this document in root in php.ini file? Anyway, I cannot try that now as I have finally achieved networking linux box to windows host that acts as our internet server. Now when I try to connect to: http://localhost I get this error "425 HTTP ERROR Unable to connect to remote host" I tried stopping the network, but that only caused Netscape to choke. Hmm. (help?)

What's the path to your document root for all your html / php files? I doubt it's /etc/httpd/php/file.html, if it isn't this, then the problem is somewhere in your php cnfig to indicate where the document root is. Eh, it's kidna hard to explain... maybe someone else can explain it better :) Justin French Creative Director Indent.com.au Daniel Goldin wrote: > I had php/apache/mysql working perfectly for awhile on my redaht 7.1 box. > Compiled them all from source and was very proud, as I am at best an amateur > programmer.
