doc_root

Hello all,

I'm currently developing a site that has to map to the document root.  I've configured the DocumentRoot to point to my root.  I've checked my phpinfo() to make sure the changes are ok and they are.

I've noticed a tag in my PHP.ini file called 'doc_root'.  This isn't set to the root of my folder.  I've changed this to match but nothing happens.  In-order for the site to work it has to point to my root folder, (www).

The site generates URLs on-the-fly.  Everything else is fine.  I've un-commented the mod_rewrite rule and everything connected to this is fine.  Am I missing something?  Maybe some tags may be set incorrectly.

Jim.

I leave that value as it is, apache's doc_root is what you need.

Think about virt. servers on apache, then your have more than one doc_root on the same machine

(install a virt. client with ubuntu on your windows server and check how it works on Linux )

I'm not using a virtual server now.  I'm simply using the <Directory "C:......">.  It must be a physical problem, or is it?

maybe you forgot to enable PHP?

what tutorial do you used for the WAMP setup?

Sorry.  I'm new to the whole server process.  I've installed Apache, MySql and Apache.  I've tested a couple of scripts to check everything works fine, (mysql connection tests etc), and everything is fine but this site simply doesn't work. 

Jim.

I used a tutorial from a book a couple of months ago. It connects to a database fine and all my other scripts work fine too, but this site simply won't work.  Do I need to look at an advanced tutorial?

maybe it's the port? what is in your log files?

My access log states:

192.168.0.6 - - [22/May/2009:12:17:50 +0100] "GET /index.php HTTP/1.1" 200 537

I've looked up favicon.ico.  It states that when a browser is enabled it looks for an icon at its root.  I've found a website that generates favicon.ico called favicon CC.  If I create an icon where exactly in my site does it go?

My error log states errors relating to the code and nothing else.

Jim

The reason why the code is generating errors is because the site needs to be in the root, which it is.  So any help will be most usefull.

Jim.

Scrub the last request regarding favicon icons as I've just generated one, copied it into my root directory.  The only thing that's changes in my access log is that it only states it obce. I'm guessing it must look for it in the browser first then looks at the root directory.

To remind you all again.  My site will only work if it's in the root directory.  Due to the way it maps its own folders and generates URLs on-the-fly.  It's in the root of my site.  I've checked my phpinfo and everything matches. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Jim.

I need GD support on my server.  Does anyone know how I do this?  I'm using Apache 2.2 and PHP5.

Jim,

I don't think that will work for you.
Each server config is different and actually I can't see what's wrong after all you have posted.

I remember me some time ago that I tried to run a WAMp config and must say I tried several how-to articles and one of them worked.
GD is enabled by default PHP (just enable the extension)

but maybe you should start over with a clean install check one of these links:
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=how-to+install+a+wamp+server&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

Your previous problem was solved by installing mod_rewrite, while people looking here after your code (you get my point here?)

What error you get from php?

if you create a php file and run this:

Code:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
?>

you get the correct value?

Olaf,

I installed WAMP, however, when I install it and attempt to turn it on an error appears stating:

'This application has failed to start because OCI.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem' Re-instaling the application may fix this problem.

I also get a variety of similiar error messages: libcs.dll, DB2CLI.dll, isqlt09a.dll, iilibapi.dll, libSQLDBC_C.dll, libmonetra.dll, lcrzo.dll all the same.

I've installed it again but the same error message comes up. I've uninstalled Apache 2.2 but not PHP5 and Mysql5.  Do I need to uninstall them?  Silly question but I have a lot of work saved to mysql and I don't want to uninstall it.

Jim.

JIm,

WAMP = Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP

don't use the wamp install program (use one of the how-to's instead)

btw. we can't debug your errors. Most PHP developer using Linux or Mac computers

Olaf,

I've re-installed Apache and PHP etc and There are different errors.  If you know what they are can you tell me?

One error is:

[Fri May 22 15:12:34 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error:  Unknown: Failed opening required '1' (include_path='.;C:\\php5\\pear') in Unknown on line 0

I did get another error earlier on stating:

httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.6 for ServerName

Could this be the problem?

Jim

I've just checked that it may be because something else is using that port.  Do you know how I can find what is blocking it and then disconnect it?

Jim.

don't configure that this before your machine is not running:

Unknown: Failed opening required '1' (include_path='.;C:\\php5\\pear') in Unknown on line 0

I've just checked that it may be because something else is using that port.  Do you know how I can find what is blocking it and then disconnect it?

just don't use the different port, default port for apache is 80

Hello all,

Just a quick query.  I've looked at my error file and found that it doesn't like my .inc.php files.

I've added the line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc

In my httpd file.  However when I've looked at my phpinfo() page it doesn't show up. Is this normal?

Jim.
