setting documentroot in apache
- by fusion
i've set the documentroot in httpd.conf as:
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\user1\Documents\WebProjects"
if the files are located in WebProjects, they work; however if i create a sub folder [project] in WebProjects and access them via the browser, it doesn't load. for example, if i create a folder 'test' in WebProjects and a php file called test.php and call it: localhost/test/test.php . .this won't work and give the error of file not found on server.
but if i put all the files in WebProjects itself, ie. test.php in WebProjects, it will work [localhost/test.php]. this makes my WebProjects folder look very cluttered with different files of different projects strewn around. and it isn't practical either.
i'm new to using apache and hence would like to know how to set the document root such that i can access and load all the Projects/folders in WebProjects.
