After a few hours sleep I decided to uninstall xampp completely and reinstall using the default c:/xampp directory structure. I am happy to report that all is working with the vhost redirects.
I do have a two couple additional questions.
1) In my site root/include I have a mysql.php. The prior xampp install had site root folders in the xampp htdocs folder. This new install has the site roots on another drive.
- Code: Select all
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 40somethingcowgirls.loc
ServerAlias www.40somethingcowgirls.loc
DocumentRoot "F:/^--WEB/^--Sites/40SomethingCowgirls/40sc-2.0-live"
<Directory "F:/^--WEB/^--Sites/40SomethingCowgirls/40sc-2.0-live" >
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
with the following declared in mysql.php from the previous install
- Code: Select all
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'xxxxx');
define('DB_PASS', xxxxx'');
define('DB_NAME', 'something40cowgirls');
define('URL', 'http://localhost/40sc-2.0-live/');
define('MEMBERS_PATH', 'members/');
define('LOGOUT_URL', 'index.php');
how should the above paths read now that my site root is outside of the xampp folder?
2) One of my other sites uses Joomla!. This site(abcCorp) root is on the same drive as the previous site, "F:/^--WEB/^--Sites/abcCorp". Do I install Joomla into the abcCorp folder or into the xampp/htdocs folder?
Thank you again for your help. It has been refreshing to find someone interesting in helping others solve issues instead of the more common flamings issued by trollers nowadays.
good karma to you
