trouble with sub directories...

[daddysauce]

I have used XAMPP awhile ago and never had any problems... but now I do.

I have everything installed via the ZIP file, Apache and SQL are running just fine. When igo to my root folder/files it works great, but when I try to go another level in it redirects the file to an install.php???

Example:
http://localhost/Daddysauce/ --- brings me to the index.php within the Daddysauce folder.
http://localhost/Daddysauce/football/ --- brings me to http://localhost/Daddysauce/football/install.php and I get "Object not found!, 404 error"

inside the football folder is it's own index.php file. I also tried going directly to the file via http://localhost/Daddysauce/football/index.php and it still re-directs me to http://localhost/Daddysauce/football/install.php.

Here is a portion of the access.log file
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Oct/2006:12:09:36 -0700] "GET /Daddysauce/football HTTP/1.1" 301 383
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Oct/2006:12:09:36 -0700] "GET /Daddysauce/football/ HTTP/1.1" 302 361
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Oct/2006:12:09:36 -0700] "GET /Daddysauce/football/install.php HTTP/1.1" 404 1118


Any suggestions?

What does the error.log say about it?

What is the DocumentRoot and <Directory (path)> in the httpd.conf file?

After installing XAMPP did you run the xampp-setup.bat?

For you information the http return codes in the above access file are:
301 moved permanently
302 moved temporarily
404 not found

Your aiming for a return code of:
200 ok

This is what the error log returned when attempting to locate the http://localhost/Daddysauce/football/index.php

[Sun Oct 01 14:35:59 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] script 'F:/xampplite/htdocs/Daddysauce/football/install.php' not found or unable to stat

Document Root in httpd.conf(which is exactly where the files are.

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "F:/xampplite/htdocs"

I initially moved the files after downloading them from C:/ into F:/xampplite/htdocs. After they were moved I did run the xampp-setup.bat.
