effigy Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 hmm... make sure htdocs is your DocumentRoot in the httpd.conf. also clear your cache just in case, maybe it is working.

effigy Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 the server-parsed language-adjusting indexes may be set to take precedence. try putting a test.html in there and referencing it directly in the url.

effigy Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 i cannot say for sure mike. i don\'t know the entire picture of your system, your installation, your configuration, and what you\'ve done, tried, changed, etc... if you used cgi, have you verified that the configuration matches up to the instructions on php.net? double check file permissions and the like.

mikeu Posted May 8, 2003 Author Share Posted May 8, 2003 I did as you said and moved the index.htlml to the var/www/html file and now I get an error when I go to my url and so I though I would reboor the sys but now I get errors when I reboot .. the error is \"server authorization directory (deamon/serauthdir) is set to /var/gdm but this does not exist. please correct gdm configuration /etc/x11/gdm/gdm.conf and restart gdm\" the only other thing I did was to make a copy on the var/www/html to the desktop.. :?: Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/390-having-problem-posting-content/#findComment-1518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
