No changes are necessary. The web-server root is not the same as your computers file-system root. This is so that people on the web can't see all the files on your computer. In your case, your web-servers root "/" is actually the same folder as "/var/www/html" in your computers file-system. further example: the folder "/files" that your web-server (apache) sees IS THE FOLDER "/var/www/html/files" on your computer Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
