    Having problem with Apache and PHP

    Hi,

    I am new to both Apache and PHP. I have installed Apache 2.0.59 and PHP

    5.1.6 on WinXP Home. I can run test.php page from default DocumentRoot
    "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs" but I have a
    subdirectory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/sub1" from
    which I cannot run my test.php page.

    Can someone give me an idea as what is wrong here and how I can fix it
    so that I can run PHP pages from any subdirectory of C:/Program
    Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs.

    Thanks for your time,

    Joe

      Hi Joe,

      Can you serve an HTML page from the subfolder?

      if the root of your server is //myServer (equating to 'C:/Program
      Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs')
      you should put //myServer/sub1 into your browser address bar and this will
      then call whatever is your defined default page , or add a specific page
      name //myServer/sub1/mytest.php

      You should also check that the document type settings in Apache that invoke
      the PHP extensions may have to be enabled for additional directories - look
      in the apache config file for php.

      HTH

          If you want a solid install of Apache with PHP and various other linix
          type tools, read...

          http://web.torres.ws/walters_way/


          It gives you detailed instructions on how to install these tools (in
          about 15 mnutes) and how to make sure it all works properly.

          One of the best things about this method of installation is that it
          takes only a few minutes to back it up to CD and then even less time to
          restore the setup if you need to!

          Give it a try
