Apache directory problem
|
|
|
| I am trying to set up a web server using apache. I have made the recommended changes to the httpd file as stated in the knowledge base.
My problem is that I cannot get apache to look at my chosen directory ("C:/dbaseWeb"). It keeps going to C:/Apache/HTDOCS by default.
I have attached the httpd file if someone could see the problem.

Looks OK to me. Ensure that you have modified the correct copy of the .conf
file, and restart Apache.

| Hi John
I should get out and start my shopping but...
1. Does apache return any pages at all? ie. 127.0.0.1 in your browser
returns what?
2. There may be a conflict in your cgi-bin settings. I haven't tested your
httpd.conf but there is a scriptAlias that points cgi-bin requests to
c:\apache\cgi-bin. From your <directory> set-up, it looks like you want
these requests to go to c:\dbaseweb\cgi-bin.
Learning opportunity:
To see if this is the case, copy an .exe to c:\apache\cgi-bin and see if it
runs. Check your logs and see if it is doing anything differently from
before.
Quick fix:
Try pointing the scriptAlias to c:\dbaseweb\cgi-bin, and remove the
<directory> directive below it AFTER comparing it with the one you have near
the beginning of section 2 to ensure that you have all of the default
settings correct. Restart apache afterwards.
#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname 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.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/cgi-bin/"
#
# "C:/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "C:/Apache/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Good luck
