Topic: Apache Configeration

[housedad]

A friend has installed Apache via XAMPP on my windows 7 (64) PC. The sole purpose of my wanting Apache on my computer is to view my website editing on a localhost server before I upload to my web server, stablehost.com, as all the files are *.php.

I have created a server name and have an htaccess file in the first sub directory out of 500 in the main directory and can access that. But is there a way to bring up an index of ALL the subs so I do not have to amend the httpd and htaccess files every time I want to view another sub. Plus every time I amend those config and htaccess files I have to re-start Apache!

My Config reads:

</Directory>

<Directory "C:/content/3G">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Require all granted

</Directory>

and virtualization is:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@host.example.com
DocumentRoot C:/content/3D
ServerName articles
ErrorLog logs/articles-error_log
TransferLog logs/articles-access_log
</VirtualHost>

htaccess is:

#<Directory "C:/content/3D">
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
# Deny from ***.***.***.*** (my IP)
#</Directory>

Your help would be appreciated. I am a 70 year old man with a heart condition who cannot do much else than create websites and learn about these things.

I would like to learn more about Apache now it is installed but my brain is not quite as fast as in years past!!

Cheers,

John

htaccess will be inherited to all subdirectories, If you put not <Directory "WHAT_EVER"> arround it.

Thank you... I have since discovered a free program called QuickPHP. Does the job without Apache or PHP installation.

I'm grateful for your post.
