Root Directory for Apache/PHP?

[masm50]

I am a bit stuck here.

I am trying to install Firesite:
http://www.dotvoid.com/firesite.php

and in the setup (settings.php) it asks for the Root Directory (not the webroot of http://localhost/...).

I am running Apache and PHP, with Apache loaded firesite to the following directory on my Windows 98r2 PC:

c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\firesite

so what is the root directory for firesite?
how do I write it?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/firesite

I wish!

No, in the example they give, it goes something like:

/root/www/tmp/firesite

I haven't got a clue?

Cheers

Couldn't you also do a

<?
phpinfo();

?>

Get the dir from there and addon the relative sub dir to your root one if you didn't know it?

Have your tried what Sean asked? That example might be because they expect you to install it on a Unix or Linux system... not windows. So the path would be different.

If you had tried the path I posted above you would have seen it is correct, the example is for Linux

Thanks guys,

got it sorted now.

I was a bit confused, as firesite installed itself a bit strangely.

As the index and settings files for it were located at:

c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/firesite

while the root they wanted was:

c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/firesite/firesite

My fault,

Thanks again.
