Title: Apache and PHP
Post by: OFOTD on May 25, 2005, 05:20:02 PM

Probably wrong forum but what the hell.

Currently i'm running IIS 6 on my server (Win2k3).  There is a PHP script (Gallery) that i'm wanting to use to display some photos that I've taken over the years.  I have a fairly good knowledge of IIS but absolutely none with Apache or PHP.  Does anyone have any suggestions on a good and easy tutorial?

With IIS when you host a site on it you can structure the web page like you would a windows folder.   Here is an example:

C:\ > Website Name > Photos > photoindex.htm     


Is this the same in Apache?


Any and all help is VERY appreciated!

Yes in apache it's called DocumentRoot you'd set the DocumentRoot to be C:\WebsiteName and URLS for photoindex would be http://<hostname>/Photos/photoindex.htm
