i installed Apache 2 and Perl on Windows XP
and have been writting CGI and testing.
Then i wanted to learn and run some PHP. I was unable to install this and make it work. So, i installed XAMPP as a package.
Great Package..... and i can run PHP in my XAMPP htdoc's folder.
All my old files are still in my .... My Documents/My Website where i worked using just Apache 2
I would like to be able to keep all my work there, but, have Not been able to configure this.
i added these lines to my httpd.conf file.
###############
UserDir "My Documents/My Website"
<Directory "C:/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/My Website">

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .html

When i tried to restart Apache, it was busy and would not start.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks for everything.....
