Are you sure you reloaded the apache configuration and/or cleared your browser cache?

Subject: Unable to configure Apache to use as personal web server

 

I am unable to configure Apache to connect to my local site.

 

Apache is installed as a personal web server on a notebook computer that uses the Windows Vista operating system.

 

The Apache installation works, as evidenced by the "It works" index page shown upon using the "http://localhost" URL.

 

I have configured the configuration file, httpd, trying to serve up an index of my web sites stored in the My Website folder, which is in the  "c:\users\user" folder.

 

Here are the configuration statements I believe are relevant:

 ServerRoot "C:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache.2"

 

 Listen 80

 

 User daemon
 Group daemon

 

 ServerName localhost:80

 

 DocumentRoot "C:/users/user/my website/"

 

 <Directory "C:/users/user/my website/">
  
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all

 

 </Directory>

 

Use of the localhost URL continues to show only the "It works" index page.

 

I've tried every adjustment of configuration of which I can conceive.

 

Where am I going wrong?
