Re: How to allow ~user/xxx.php on Windows XP

Hi, Neil: Thanks for the response. When I go http://localhost/~myusername/test.php, I got a page just with just "No input file specified. " in it. Whether it only happens to PHP or also to HTML seems to be depending on the AddType setting in my Apache configuration file. If .html is associated with php, any html file on the user's web directory can not be correctly displayed just as the .php file, while things are fine when the same file is located at the DocumentRoot directory of Apache. I must be missing something here. Any insight? -- Gang Wang "Neil Smith" <neil@fresh-toast.uklinux.net> wrote in message news:5.2.0.9.0.20030115134447.00ab15e0@mail.uklinux.net... > "It doesn't work" : Err, what error message do you get ? > > A 404? 500 error ? or something else.... do you see HTML or PHP source or > binary mush or nothing ?
