Hey
i finally got my apache+php setup working *well the apache+php test pages both show up so i presume its working* but what i wanted to know is how would i make my apache server viewable to my windows machine
my setup is like this.
my xp machine is 192.168.0.1, laptop *gentoo+apache* is 192.168.0.2 and my xp machine provides my net connection thou con sharing *dont flame, im going to setup an openbsd router when ive time:)* but what i want to know is how can my windows system view my apache files etc.*FIXED*
i also want to know how do you get apache to read directories *sounds weird but let me explain* if i dump single .php files or index.* into /home/httpd/htdocs when i connect to localhost it will show the index in the directory or whatever but if ive got another directory say /home/httpd/htdocs/test/ then whatever browser im using just pops up saying unable to connected is there a way round that?
thanks in advance to any replies

If youe mean to view the website from the Windows system you could just enter http://192.168.0.2/ into your web browser. If you mean to share the apache folder you would need Samba

Look for the line beginning DirectoryIndex in the apache.conf file (sorry I don't remember the exact location in Gentoo but I think it's in /etc/apache) and add index.php to it.
Example:
| Code: | | DirectoryIndex index.html inex.htm inex.php |
