OK...figured out the location which is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs
Now I'd like to do 2 things..
1) Have it run in the background as a system service
2) Change the local folder where the web server files are stored
How can I do these?
Thanks :)
we'll do number 2 first!!
2) Open from your conf directory httpd.conf and find that path C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs the comments in the .conf file should help you!
Change that to whatever you want!
Tell me when you've done that!
K done :)
Later your gonna have to tell me what the advantage of this over IIS is cuz i'm not seeing it except harder setup process :(
blah blah blah!!
;)
Stop whinging. ;)
Bollocks it's harder you could of just copied all your web docs in the htdocs folder and it would be running fine!
Now as a service:
from apache readme docs:
Tell me if you dont understand any of that?Quote:
Multiple Apache services can be installed, each with a different name and configuration. To install the default Apache service named "Apache", choose the "Install as Service for All Users" option when launching the Apache installation package. Once this is done you can start the "Apache" service by opening the Services window (in the Control Panel, hidden in "Administrative Tools" on Windows 2000), selecting Apache, then clicking on Start. Apache will now be running, hidden in the background. You can later stop Apache by clicking on Stop. As an alternative to using the Services window, you can start and stop the "Apache" service from the command line with
OK i understand it so far. Let me reboot to make sure that Xitami doesn't kick in and Apache does.Quote:

ok i'll break it down for you.
For apache to run as a service it has to installed as 1!! So you've got to re-install it:
1) Install the default Apache service named "Apache" by choosing the "Install as Service for All Users" option when launching the Apache installation package.
2) Start the "Apache" service by opening the Services window (in the Control Panel, hidden in "Administrative Tools" on Windows 2000), selecting Apache, then clicking on Start.
3) Apache will now be running, hidden in the background.
Notes:
You can later stop Apache by clicking on Stop. As an alternative to using the Services window.
sorry i thought you said you didnt understand :p

This will give you PHP and SSI (SHMTL)
Put in srm.conf
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
And in httpd.conf
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Options +Includes
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
I am not sure If I could have let someone of that out and it would still work but, it works for me. :)
Actually I didn't have to reinstall and Apache started up by default and I didn't even see it start.
Let me start by hosting a pesky signature image off of it! I'll change it soon ;)
Thanks Beacon! :)
Whoa ya just lost me there :(Quote:

Where do I type all that **** into?
Gimlin told me in IRC that it's the srm.conf file that I'd put all that text if I were installing PHP.
right? :)
Gimlin just posted you stuff to put in your srm.conf file so you have php and ssi enabled with apache!
Just in your conf directory open srm.conf in notepad and then paste it in.
Do the same for the httpd.conf file!
You'll need the php4apache.dll!!
If you havent got it already you can download it from apache's site i'm pretty sure!
No worries matie!! :)
Later

if it doesnt work lemme know!
I'm too lazy to try it now :) but I'll definitely ring back here if I have any problems.Quote:

OK thanks, even if I don't notice a big difference in web server performance at least I can say I run Apache :cool:
Stay tuned for "Changing justin over to Bsd!"

I wouldnt say you'd notice too much of a difference unless you had a big site!
A bit like the dao is quicker than ado thing!
But security wise it's better, doesnt take up as much memory, way better uptime etc etc etc.

Yep it hums along in the BG just fine :)Quote:

:)

I had Apache running on Win98, pretty sure the setup is the same. They just warn you not to use that OS for anything other then testing.
Yeah its pretty unstable that Win98.Quote:

yeah, i know that already... i might try it on my xp machine... my dad'll kill me if i use all our bandwidth for a server though... he already doesn't like me running xitami...
And defiantly when it's a backward step like ADO or Linux.....Quote:

what file is the srm.conf?????????Quote:

you don't mess with that file. everything goes into the httpd.conf file. I never touched srm.conf file and I have php and perl running no probs.
Either ither Scoutt most admins and webmasters now just do as you do use the httpd.conf the srm.conmf file is just basically leftovers from earlier version of apache!
Doesnt really matter only that the httpd.conf file will be executed before the srm.conf file so it's quicker!
