   Sorry for a non-WP-related question.
   On my local machine, I have apache installed.
   But it takes only the folders in c:\phpdev\www in the local host.
   How do I define "C:\Web Site" in conf files so that I can run files as:
   http://localhost/localsite or anything.
   It has to do something with httpd.conf file but I can't get it to work. :P
   Help!

   Find the documentroot directive in your httpd.conf and change it to wherever you want to place your site on your c drive.
   Peace.

   i want a folder in addition to the default folder. just like creating virtual names in IIS. :)

   I think you want an alias then. Look at the alias for /icons/ for an example of how to set one up.

   i managed to do it finally. thanks guys. i wish there were an GUI interface that could have done it. But it's better and safer than using IIS anyday. :) i have had very weird experiences with Nimda.
