Muddy_Funster Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 ok, I think this needs moved to the relevent section - Other Webserver Software would be my pick.

Muddy_Funster Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 In windows it's not as easy as linux - Linux supports hardlink's. It depends on the software you have installed, I have only used XAMPP on widows computers, nothing else. Check through the documentation for the software and it should explain how and where to setup the web folders Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280996-wampserver-starting-php-in-my-desktop/#findComment-1444182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy_Funster Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 http://localhost/index.php the only colon ( : ) that you should have is the one after the http and before the two forward slashes ( // ) and it's all single slashes after the double one at the start.

jazzman1 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 How to I setup C:\myfolder\ as a web served directory, or how to include it in webserver's served directories ? Use "Alias Directive" under Apache. It allows documents to be stored in the local filesystem other than under the DocumentRoot folder. Never tested on windows machines! To obtain more information, check at docs of apache web site.
