trying to run apache 2.2.9 on windows 2000 w/sp4. found a link at lifehacker.com showing me how to make my music files accessible from a different computer. when i type http://localhost in my web browser it works fine. but when i change the httpd.conf file, to Document Root "C:/ stephen/my music" , the directory, to <Directory "C:/stephen/my music", and the allowOveride to All, save that modified file then restart apache and type http://localhost in my web browser and see my music files. But apache wont restart, never touched a computer since highschool and im 40 now. i know the learnig curve is big for me but they peak my curiosity. i also use ubuntu 8.04 on 1 computer xp on two others and the 2000 computer has the apache. any hints where to look or if anyone has some input as to where to look for the solution, fire away. My guess is that maybe thier is a module issue. i know im missing something.[/url]

Maybe you meant: | Code: | | DocumentRoot "C:/stephen/my music" |
with no space in "Document Root" and a colon after the "C".
Apache directives like DocumentRoot require careful attention to details like this.
You probably need a <Directory> directive like this: | Code: | <Directory "C:/stephen/my music">
Options Indexes
Allow from all
</Directory> |
-t-
p.s. The regular Windows 2000 place for music files would be C:/Documents and Settings/Stephen/My Documents/My Music". Are you sure you mean "C:/stephen/my music"?

in your example you are missing a colon in "C(colon)/stephen/my music," did you do the same in httpd.conf?
oops, you beat me Tom |

As long as you are using a update client, it should.
Security:
mod_security
make sure all software is current
running Apache as a user (quite advanced however can be done on Win Pro & Server versions)
Website Monitor
