Re: PHP's doc_root

The other alternative (for those who don't have control of their DNS fro instance so can't set up a pile of virtual hosts) which I often use when I'm developing is just to set up some alias's to the root of the directory tree that you want to use eg http://localhost/bollox/ would take you to c:\bollox\ if you had the following in http.conf: - Alias /bollox/ "C:/bollox/" <Directory "C:/bollox/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Tom Rayon Pinnock wrote: > I am running Apache 1.3.19 web server under Windows 2000 Professional > with > php4 configured as a module of Apache. > > Previously php4 was configured was used a cgi interpreter > and in the php.ini file I had > > doc_root = "c:\php\scripts" > > and in the httpd.conf file I had > > DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/public" > > and it worked beautifully. i.e. I could type > http://localhost/myscript.php > in my browser and the web server would automatically check the directory > > specified by doc_root for the requested php script and go on from there. > > However under the current configuration the web server cannot find the > scripts and the browser reports the dreaded error: HTTP 404 - File not > found. > > What I did as a workaround was to place the php scripts somewhere under > the web server's DocumentRoot and specify the path when making script > requests.
