[NEWBIE] Where to store the documents ??
Hi guys,
Just set up Apache 1.3.14 on my Win2000 machine...
I have gone thru the documentation provided and also
the info in the httpd.conf file... but a few problems remain...
The server is supposed to serve documents from the DocumentRoot
right ?? the httpd.conf file says ...
"DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your documents.
By default, all requests are taken from this directory "
my DocumentRoot is d:/Apache/htdocs... I have an html
file in that directory ... the server root is d:/Apache ...
Now i should be able to access this html file by typing in the browser
http://localhost/xyz.html ...is that right ??
but i am not able to access this html file ...'
some help please ... go easy with the flames ... :-)
Regards,
Ritin

Change the forward slash to backward slash
ie
d:\Apache\htdoc
and see if this works.

First step before anything is to make sure the server is running :)
Are you trying to view just a static HTML page? If so and you still can't
access the page, what error do you get if any?
