apache start page not displayed

« on: October 30, 2006, 08:44:19 AM »

Hi,

I'm new to Apache. I recently installed it. However, I set the Document Root to the folder, "C:\webdocs". When I typed, "http://localhost", the contents of folder c:\webdocs was displayed. The introductory page wa not shown. Is this a problem ??

nah ;-)

it's just that you didn't place any index.* (htm,html,php...) page in that directory. The Apache startup page(s) (one per language) are situated classically in c:\apache group\apache\htdocs, the standard DocumentRoot value ;-)

just move soem files or create a new index.html (text) file with notepad, containing for instance :
<?php
php_info();
?>

or

<html><head><title>test</title></head><body>this is a test page</body></html>

(yes, purists I know there is no DOCTYPE but it's late)
