Re: Baffled for two months - Need help

I have removed the alias directive from the configuration file. The URL: 

http://localhost now leads me to the index file in my web site. After 

removing the index file from my website, the URL opens an index to the site. 

We have success! Thanks again.

For the record, the following respond explicitly to your questions.

1. I have not been restarting apache after changing the configuration file. 

I have been directly attempting to open my site by directing the browser to 

the site. After changing the configuration file, attempting to restart 

Apache via the Windows start menu results in the following DOS-type error 

message: "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network 

address/port) is normally permitted.: make_s: could not bind to address 

0.0.0.80 no listening sockets available, shutting down  Unable to open 

logs". I have not yet, but shall,  look into correcting that error by 

working through the Windows Control Panel.

2.  No other DocumentRoot directives are in httpd.conf

3.  I have been editing the following configuration file:  C:\Program 

Files\Apache software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf

Joshua,

Thanks for your attention. I'm trying to follow your guidance and, at the
same time, develop a deeper understanding of the concepts involved in
configuring Apache. Here's my latest failure:

DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website/"

<Directory "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website/">

    Options Multiviews Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

Alias /lamartin "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website"

URL: "http://localhost/";  opens the default Apache index.html

URL: "http://localhost/~lamartin/"; leads to an Internet Explorer http 

#404

error

Can you resteer me towards a solution?

Forget about the Alias and the ~lamartin stuff until you have the
basic DocumentRoot working.

Did you restart apache after changing the config file?

Are there other DocumentRoot directives in httpd.conf? (There should
only be one unless you are running VirtualHosts.)

Are you sure you are editting the correct config file?
