Hey guys, sorry to bother you with some rather elementary woes. I am using the book Beginnings PHP5 and MySQL E-Commerce and am stuck at Chapter 2.
My default folder for Apache is C:/htdocs. I created a folder C:/tshirtshop, created a simple php info page in this folder, and have added the following code to my httpd.conf Apache file (I am providing context, so my code is in bold)"
<Directory "C:/tshirtshop">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<IfModule alias_module>
#
# Redirect: Allows you to tell clients about documents that used to
# exist in your server's namespace, but do not anymore. The client
# will make a new request for the document at its new location.
# Example:
# Redirect permanent /foo http://localhost/bar
#
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
# Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
#
# If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. You will also likely
# need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
# the filesystem path.
#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
# client. The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
# directives as to Alias.
#
Alias /tshirtshop/ "c:/tshirtshop"
Alias /tshirtshop "c:/tshirtshop"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/cgi-bin/"
</IfModule>
I really appreciate your dedication and assistance (hopefully I will eventually become skilled enough to return the favor). I am running Windows XP Professional SP2. PHP version 5.2.
