 |
|
In httpd.conf I have
DocumentRoot "C:/Programme/Apache_Group/Tomcat-8.0.5/webapps/ROOT/"
2.4.9 is complaining about this having to be a directory. It is definiteley. I can browse it with explorer.
When I change this to "C:/Program Files/..." it works.
Why is that? In the stock Win32 server I downloaded from the apache site I did not have to make this change.

Programme is just an alias. I assume you use an german system 
even the C:\Benutzer is an alias to C:\Users
That is a bit tricky.
In doubt open cmd.exe

Yes I know these are aliases but my question was why it works on the stock Apache Win32 server binary from the Apache site.

Well apache org offers only apache 2.2 which is different to 2.4 from the source code itself. Also apache org uses a very old compiler which is also a lot different to the compiler that apache lounge uses.
In some cases I had to use the old 8.3 paths to get it working. |

Thanks. It could also be that in my case the cause is a different one, since the directory didn't exist.
C:\Program Files\Apache_Group\... existed
but
C:\Programme
existed but was empty.
Strange these "links". On my Windows 7 notebook for example I have two directories named C:\Programme
(!)
