OK - I am certainly no expert on Apache Virtual Hosts. Your setup screen looked OK.
There is a TechNote on the site for Apache/MySQL/Windows: http://farcry.daemon.com.au/index.cfm?objectid=DE426E62-D0B7-4CD6-F919EB1427 906E28 But - in the first instance - it seems like you may have the mapping back to front. D:\Development\FarCry\farcry_core\admin is the admin code. It should be accessed of your server root using something like "farcry" So - not really knowing your setup properly - I would guess...... http://fairbanks/farcry The main part of the site should be accessed via: http://fairbanks You will also need to ensure that apps.cfm file has the correct hostname (fairbanks??) and that you have the correct path assigned to that (probably 'fairbanks' - it is the name of the directory under the FarCry root that you put in here). With your directory: D:\Development\FarCry\fairbanks\www it is the \fairbanks\ part we are focussing on (without the slashes of course). The way FarCry admin works is that it reads the structure in apps.cfm, finds the host it is running on, and then knows which directory the site it actually administering is in from that structure. I think the installer will do this correctly for you first time. If you want more than one FarCry installation, you will have to edit apps.cfm by hand.
