Aliases..

[benone]

I'm trying to install several PHP scripts to the Abyss Web Server but the .zip files come with an installation guide that normally just provides help on how to upload and extract the files over FTP, etc.. Basically what I'm asking so it doesn't get really complicated is that whenever I download a certain script, make a folder in the Abyss Web Server directory on my computer and extract the .zip files in to it, what do I put in for the "Virtual Path" and "Real Path" in the Aliases section?

This forum has many tutorials on certain scripts but I can't just depend on those for the rest of the time I'm working with the server.

Please.. any advice will be highly apreciated. Thank you.

benone,

If you put the files inside the documents path (the htdocs/ subdirectory inside Abyss Web Server installation directory) there is no need to create aliases.
For example, if your htdocs full path in the hard drive is C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs, if you create a subdirectory inside it called phpbb and then put your script files there, all you have to do to access this script is to browse http://yoursite/phpbb .

Now let's say that you have no space in C:\ or want to put the script elsewhere, for example in D:\test\myphpbb . In this case, you should create an alias with /phpbb as virtual path and D:\test\myphpbb as real path.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up.

Finally, I've installed a PHP script without encountering any problems.
