Topic: naming and importing files issues

[mikehende]

Please help:

1] If I am working on two or more sites at the same time, how do I name the individual "index" files before placing them into Apache's htdocs folder? For example if one site I am working on is about "tools" and the other is about "cars" then do I name them

toolsindex.html?

and

carsindex.html?

[glsmith]

how about

.../htdocs/tools/index.html
.../htdocs/cars/index.html

http://localhost/tools
http://localhost/cars

???

not sure if I understand you correctly, I wish to know exactly what to name both index files themselves before importing them into the htdocs folder, from what you wrote I am guessing those are the file "path"? Please confirm, thanks.

look close at that post

1. I created a folder named tools inside the htdocs folder of Apache (../htdocs/tools/index.html)
2. I created a folder named cars inside the htdocs folder of Apache (../htdocs/cars/index.html)

that leaves two different index.html files in two different folders
then

3. I used the URL http://localhost/tools
4. I used the URL http://localhost/cars

http://localhost = C:\path-to-apache\htdocs
http://localhost/tools = C:\path-to-apache\htdocs\tools
http://localhost/one/two/three = C:\path-to-apache\htdocs\one\two\three
