PHP not working when doc root changed?

[portland]

I just downloaded and installed the whole bunch on my WinXP machine.  The package is installed to w:/www and the docroot then is /www/webroot.  Fine. 

Now I want to use another dir as docroot: w:\web, since I already had been running another webserver (Apache 1.3) using w:\web as docroot.  The 1.3 server is not active now of course.

I changed docroot in two places in httpd.conf and when I access a file in the new docroot, it looks ok if it is a .html file.  For php files what I get is the php code (<?php .... etc).

What's up here?

I also want to be able to alias to directories on other drives.  This issue seems to preclude that.

Suggestions appreciated.

Edit \www\Apache22\conf\Suite-extra\mod_php5.conf
Update dir block with new location.

You might also want to update include_path and doc_root under php.ini

I moved everything that was located outside of the web root directory www into the web root directory www. all of the extras included in the package worked fine.

Thanks admin, that helped.

Is there a way to place my.ini in another place besides c:\windows in a way similar to php.ini?

No, it stays there.

On Windows, MySQL programs read startup options from the following files:
WINDIR\my.ini
C:\my.cnf
INSTALLDIR\my.ini

--defaults-file=file_name

Use only the given option file. file_name is the full pathname to the file. If the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, the program will exit with an error.

Excellent, admin.  Thanks.
