Synopsis: Cannot get Alias to root directory of drive on which Apache is installed State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] State-Changed-When: Thu Oct 1 06:38:08 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: There are/were two problems here. First, when using the Alias directive on Win32, be sure to specify the root of the drive with a trailing slash (e.g. x:/). If you do not, and use 'x:' instead, Windows will try to use the "current path on drive x:", not the root. This is normal Windows/DOS behavior, and hence why changing the "Start in" seems to fix the problem. Second, PR 3001 pointed out that Apache Win32 was not getting to the root drive correctly, and this PR was suffering from the same bug once the Alias was changed to use a trailing slash. This problem has been fixed and committed to CVS and should be available in the next release of Apache. Once you have received the version of Apache with the fix for 3001, I recommend leaving the "Start in" as the D:\apache directory, and defining the Alias directives with a trailing slash. Thanks for using Apache!
