You should be able to use notepad to save your config files, just put quotes around the filename, eg. ".htaccess" this normally stops it from adding the file extension.

I have Windows XP running Apache 2.0.54. When I edit my hosts, httpd, and other files, I use notepad. When I save the files, they become .txt files. Should I be using some other editor to correctly save the files as other than .txt? I notice some things do not work correctly and am thinking this may be the issue I am having? Virtual hosts does not work although I have them set exactly as various examples in Apache docs and elsewhere on the web. Also I can get to the apache start page ok using 127.0.0.1 but not using localhosts. In my hosts file, I have "127.0.0.1 localhost" as the first line. My virtual hosts are set up as follows: # #Use name-based virtual hosting. # NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot C:/www/Apache2/htdocs/dreammaster ServerName www.dreammaster.info ServerAlias dreammaster.info dreammaster ErrorLog logs/dreammaster.log </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot C:/www/Apache2/htdocs/owlnet ServerName www.owlnet.net ServerAlias owlnet.net owlnet ErrorLog logs/owlnet.log </VirtualHost> Those are the correct paths to root documents, etc. yet virtual hosts does not work in that I can not get to either using: http://127.0.0.1/owlnet http://127.0.0.1/owlnet.net http://www.owlnet.net etc All tests for php, mysql, perl, etc work at http://127.0.0.1/whatever test. My main reason for installing apache is to have a test server to use for building websites under Dreamweaver. IIS wasn't cutting it for me.
