Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello,

I have just installed the package for windows, as I couldn't take any more disappointment trying to get IIS to work with mysql - now I have it all installed but can't see any web pages from it

As I has a previous installation of IIS, my doc root is inetpub/www
but although I changed that in the httpconf file, it still won't serve any pages??

Any ideas?

Thanks one and all

Jim

it still won't serve any pages

Why not?
- error message
- error.log

Object not found!

Fine, that's the error message. What's about the error.log?

Sorry - I no idea where that would be..

found it!

so why is it still looking for the docs there??

You have changed the correct "httpd.conf" and restarted Apache?

yep.... tried several times and re-booted too just in case...

For a test:
Can you open phpinfo() and look in the output for the DOCUMENT_ROOT value?

interesting...restarted again...just got a different error message:
