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?
Apache novice, Fred Lamartin

I need help with a BASIC problem that has baffled me for two months. Here
are the
pertinent data.
1. Using a Windows Vista Home Premium platform, I cannot open my website
in
the server.
2. The path to my website is "C:\Users\Lamartin\My Website".
3. Major elements of the configuration are:
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80
UserDir Enabled lamartin
UserDir "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website"
<Directory "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website">
AllowOverride None
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<IfModule dir_module>
index.html index.html.var index.cgi
</IfModule>
4. I have tried to get an index of my site in both I.E. and FireFox, by
using the following URL: http://localhost/~lamartin/. In I.E., the URL
gives
an error ("Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"), and the URL
gives a comparable error in Firefox.
5. The Apache error log entries for these trials are of this type: "[Sun
Aug
05 19:09:13 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist:
C:/Program
Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/lamartin".
The last time you posted the exact same question I said:

Do you really want to be using UserDir? Why not just use an Alias or
just change your DocumentRoot to point to the correct directory?
For example, get rid of the UserDir stuff and use
Alias /lamartin "C:/Users/Lamartin/My Website"
Was there something you didn't understand there? Why didn't you at
least answer my explicit questions?
Joshua.
