Vincent,
>so presumably you're using a URL like http://localhost/mcjdreamweaver/
to access your site
Yes you are correct and I am very grateful for your reply but I find I
am out of my depth. I had read (several times both before my post and
after your reply) the article on configuring Virtual Hosts and I remain
unaware of how to amend the file at conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf to suit
local access only. As to the <Directory blocks I take your point but I
cannot determine which of the directives to use.
My sole aim was in using Apache for testing to add the display of
includes. As I have been struggling with a problem that I never
expected for over a week it's time I gave it a rest.
My general comment on all the Apache help articles both on-line and in
the manual is that they clearly state what to do but not how to do it.
There is a presumption of knowledge that I do not have. I bought my
first computer at the age of 62 on the basis I would catch up -
eventually. Thirteen years later it seems I am even further behind than
I was then!
Many thanks for your effort to assist me. I do appreciate it very much
indeed.

Hi,
You seem to have two problems in your config. First, You're not using
any virtual hosts, and your DocumentRoot is F:/webs, so presumably
you're using a URL like http://localhost/mcjdreamweaver/ to access
your site. In this case, using an include with a local uri ref like
/includes/something won't work because the mcjdreamweaver part is
ignored. To fix this, either change your DocumentRoot to include the
site directory, or use vhosts if you want to host multiple sites.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/
Secondly, you have two <DIrectory blocks that each refer to
essentially the same directory (except one of them has a wildcard).
This will lead to pain and suffering in the long term, so instead
merge the two together, in particular your Options directive, which is
different in both cases. You should also avoid using Options Foo +Bar
notation, as the docs explain, this isn't supported syntax, so instead
make up your mind and use Options Foo Bar Whatever.
