CHANGE DOCUMENT ROOT wont work

Postby N0000BIE » 18. November 2003 10:56

HELLO I WAS WONDERING WHY THIS POPS UP

Not Found

The requested URL /xampp/ was not found on this server.

AFTER I MOVED THE FOLDER TO THE FOLDER I WANTED, THEN EDITED HTTPD.CONF, ALSO TRIED HIGHPERFORMANCE.CONF, AND THE -STD VARIANTS, OFFCOURSE RESTARTED XAMPP NUMEROUS TIMES.
nothing helped

THEN I LOOKED AT SOME FILE WITH MY FAVORITE vi

if test ! -f /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp
then
#$de && echo -n "de" > /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp
#$de || echo -n "en" > /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp
touch /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp
chown nobody /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp
chmod 600 /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp

YOU DONT EVEN USE VARIABLES :?:
NOW I WONDER RIGHT AWAY AT HOW MANY ESSENTIONAL SPOTS YOU DIDNT USED THE DOCUMENT ROOT VARIABLE
HOW CAN THIS WORK WHEN MY DOCUMENT ROOT IS NOT THE DEFAULT THING YOU CHOOSE FOR ME :?:

WHEN I TRY TO RUN XAMPP IT SAYS:

Dear Unknown!

Yes, we know about that error in 1.4 and it will be fixed in 1.5. But thanks anyway for the information.

Simply remove the touch, chown, and chmod from the script to stop the error messages.

Greetings

To change the document root you only need to change the DocumentRoot directive (line 359) and the accordingly Directory container (line 384).

This should work! If not please tell me what your DocumentRoot line contains and where do you put the start.php file.

Please take also a look into /opt/lampp/logs/error_log. To get more info about the error message you get when you tried to access start.php.

Yes, after changing httpd.conf you have to restart Apache.

BTW: Invalid method in request <80>g^A^C^A looks very stange. What kind of browser do you use?

Okay! Please access now http://<ip-of-your-server>/xampp/start.php

What is the exact error message you get?
What do you find in the last lines of your error_log file?
