Quoting Joseph Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Thanks Matt - more advice welcome, but I might retrace my steps and
start this again. What is the right 'domain name' on the local
(Windows) machine with Apache - the 'website' folder is labelled
'www', but the index is called with 127.0.01/. So should that be
left blank?
Hokay,
Absolute paths to files on windws, i.e. C:\apache\htdocs\index.php must
always use the "\" sign to reference them. In unix, absolute file paths
must user the "/".
In apache, if you are referring to a path on the server by its web address
(as opposed to the absolute path), regardless of operating system you must
use "/". I'll try and make it a bit clearer (for my benefit and yours!):
Say you have a file tree on windows that looks like this:
C:\
|- Apache\
|
|- htdocs\
|
|- includes\
| |
| |- affconfig.php
|
|- index.php
In order to reference affconfig from index.php using absolute paths, you
must use:
include("c:\Apache\htdocs\includes\affconfig.php");
In order to reference affconfig.php from index.php using the relative
(web-based) path, you must use:
include("includes/affconfig.php");
note the differences in the paths, and the use of "/" and "\".
Absolute is more definitive, where as relative is more portable.
Hope this is of some use. what's the link for the source? I'll have a
play and see if I get the same errors if you like?
