In my httpd.conf file I have tried this

Allow from all

which does not work

I was looking at

and was (blindly) trying to use examples.
I was not sure what I needed but have never let that stand in my way ;-)
You didn't mention which version of Apache you are using, it's usually
important, following for 2.0 not using aliases, but virtual hosts instead
for a development server on a local box.
I have been using the same version of apache for localhost for years (about
the same time php4 was released) and is version <cough-mumble> Apache/1.3.14
(Win32)
um . . . maybe I should upgrade.
This goes above your VH directives:
NameVirtualHost *:80
then:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot C:/website/home/mydomain/public_html/
ServerName yourvirtualdomain.com (don't use the "www")
ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
This is what I think is needed and when I get a break will give it a try and
let you know
Thank you very much. I have many VH directives and have previously set up
doc root to
c:/website/
and server name similar to what you have above.
I currently get the error with php.
"failed opening file in C:/website/mydomain/script.php"
with the above example will I get the error.
"failed opening file in C:/website/home/mydomain/public_html/script.php" ?
I really want the error to look like.
"failed opening file in /home/mydomain/public_html/script.php"
which may not be possible but will try this when I get time.
I have a big job coming up and will need to use
"/home/mydomain/public_html/include.htm" in my includes so I can test
locally and on the www server without running two versions.
In your Windows hosts file, add the domain name:
127.0.0.1 localhost yourvirtualdomain.com
When I first set up VH it took a while to find out that the virtual domain
also needed to be added to the hosts file. (with no cr/lf at the end)
Restart Apache, you should be good to go. Access the local file by by not
using the www:
http://yourvirtualdomain.com and the live one with:
http://www.yourvirtualdomain.com
Aliases not needed now, includes work as expected, least ways that's how I
do it, works for me etc. :-)
Most problems can be figured out within the error logs for Apache, if this
isn't a typo as I suspect, then check those, and get back to the list with
the error(s) reported, much more helpful and not as much guessing.
there is nothing in the error logs except my deliberate errors.
hth!
cheers,
Mark
Thank you.
Ill let you know how it goes.
