Hi Stephen, Here you mix the php-include path for php with the document_root for apache. The include path for PHP means that you can do the following: Cpfunctions2.php: <?php Include_once('includefile.php'); ?> This file has to be in the document_root of the apache as cpfunctions.php is when it works. You can then save the file includefile.php in "C:/www/www/stephenofroissy.com/include" Frank -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Stephen [mailto:stephen-d@xxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17.

Windows XP Pro. Most works fine, but I can;t seem to get my include override in .htaccess working. The vhosts setting is: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot C:/www/www/stephenofroissy.com/public_html ServerName www.stephenofroissytest.com ErrorLog C:/www/www/stephenofroissy.com/public_html/error.log CustomLog C:/www/www/stephenofroissy.com/public_html/access.log common </VirtualHost> www.stephenofroissytest.com does resolve to 127.0.0.1 and I can view the index page and the file that I want to include when it is in the document root. The .htacces file is: # Set the include path php_value include_path "C:/www/www/stephenofroissy.com/include" When I have cpfunctions.php in the document root, and enter http://www.stephenofroissytest.com/cpfunctions.php it goes as expected. When I move cpfunctions.php to C:/www/www/stephenofroissy.com/include I get a 404. And *no* log entry. Help! Please.
