| I have installed XAMPP as to have a local php development environment on my WinXP box. Apache and PHP seems to work fine. 
 In the document root I have defined a shortcut to my php development directory.
 
 Apache won't follow this shortcut. I haven't changed anything in the httpd.conf.
 
 It works fine on my linux server. What am I missing?
 
 Thx in adv.
 
 Tage

| Windows does not support Symlinks! Here is Windows the issue! If you need a shortcut. Create a folder with the shortcut name and into it create a index.php
 
 index.php
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | <?php
 $host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
 $uri   = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
 $extra = 'path/to/your/folder/';
 header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra");
 exit;
 ?>
 
 | 
 
 or something like that...
