I set up and had XAMPP working great a year ago. Rebuilt computer a few months back and now having problems again. For some reason I cannot locate a FAQ on the issues I have. Wrote notes last time, but they have disappeared.
I'm a web developer and need to preview .php files locally. That's all I really need to work.
Windows XP SP2
XAMP 1.5.1 installed and working
XAMP is installed on C:/Program Files/etc . . .
My developement files are at D:/My Documents/__WWW/etc.
Modified httpd-xampp.conf by adding (all correct paths):
________________________________
Alias /manskerconsulting.com "D:/My Documents/___WWW_MANSKER/Mansker Consulting DEV"
<Directory "D:/My Documents/___WWW_MANSKER/Mansker Consulting DEV">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
________________________________
Modified Windows HOSTS file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 manskerconsulting.com
________________________________
http://localhost/xampp/ opens XAMPP home page as it should.
When I go to preview mode in Dreamweaver it opens:
http://localhost.manskerconsulting.com/xampp/
Which also shows the same XAMPP home page
I need the DW preview to show my web site at:
D:/My Documents/___WWW_MANSKER/Mansker Consulting DEV
Any help is appreciated.
