[SOLVED] Using Alias Correctly

[telsiin]

Hello everyone pro, expert, and the like

 

 

I was wondering if there was any tutorial on the httpd.conf specifically using Alias

I been trying to access a file outside of my document root but can get it to work properly

So I am thinking I overlook something I been try to figure these out on and off for about 4 month

Only to stop when I very frustrated and take a break “often In weeks”

 

The site is http://lordofansalon.no-ip.org/ click login to see the problem

 

The file I am trying to access is a mysqlconnection call lordofansalon.php located in C:/lordsofansalon/Connections

 

My DocumentRoot is

"C:/lordsofansalon/htdocs/home/"

 

The login link is located

"C:/lordsofansalon/htdocs/home/DM"

 

I call the Alias in the login page

as

<?php require_once ('/Connections/lordofansalon.php'); ?>

 

Now these probably is not necessary but just in case here is my httpd.conf

 

 

Thank you All

Antonio

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/lordsofansalon/apache" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/lordsofansalon/apache/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
# confusion.
#

# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum  number of requests a server process serves
ThreadsPerChild 250
MaxRequestsPerChild  0

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "C:/lordsofansalon/apache"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

# 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.

   # Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to

   # Example:
   # Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
   


   # If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
   # require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely

# Apache parses all CGI scripts for the shebang line by default.
# This comment line, the first line of the script, consists of the symbols
# pound (#) and exclamation (!) followed by the path of the program that 
# can execute this specific script.  For a perl script, with perl.exe in
# the C:\Program Files\Perl directory, the shebang line should be:

  #!c:/program files/perl/perl

# Note you _must_not_ indent the actual shebang line, and it must be the
# first line of the file.  Of course, CGI processing must be enabled by 
# the appropriate ScriptAlias or Options ExecCGI directives for the files 
# or directory in question.
#
# However, Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can
# use the Registry to match files by extention.  The command to execute 
# a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as 
# the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file.
# These script actions can be configured from the Windows Explorer View menu, 
# 'Folder Options', and reviewing the 'File Types' tab.  Clicking the Edit
# button allows you to modify the Actions, of which Apache 1.3 attempts to
# perform the 'Open' Action, and failing that it will try the shebang line.
# This behavior is subject to change in Apache release 2.0.
#
# Each mechanism has it's own specific security weaknesses, from the means
# to run a program you didn't intend the website owner to invoke, and the
# best method is a matter of great debate.
#
# To enable the this Windows specific behavior (and therefore -disable- the
# equivilant Unix behavior), uncomment the following directive:
#
#ScriptInterpreterSource registry
#
# The directive above can be placed in individual <Directory> blocks or the
# .htaccess file, with either the 'registry' (Windows behavior) or 'script' 
# (Unix behavior) option, and will override this server default option.
#

# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are

Um...this really doesn't have anything to do with Apache if I understand you correctly. The following include:

<?php require_once ('/Connections/lordofansalon.php'); ?>

is looking for the file C:/Connections/lordofansalon.php

just change it to:

<?php require_once ('../../Connections/lordofansalon.php'); ?>

 

[telsiin]

I inserted the change but it still give me the same error

[rhodesa]

Paste the first few lines from http://lordofansalon.no-ip.org/DM/DMaction.php

[telsiin]

I overlook his part of the code I look further down in playeraction.php

 

if ($row_Recordset2['acctype'] =='Master'||'Admin') {

    //if ($row_Recordset2['acctype'] =='Master') {

  $insertGoTo = "DMaction.php";

    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";

    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

 

but I changed it in DMaction and it seem to be working so far but have to go through a few other pages just to make sure
