I have set up my web server as specified in the help files with PHP and CGI support. I can see all php, and perl files perfectly, however i get a 404 error when i try to view html files.

Please help this is driving me mad.

Do you get a 404 when you view the original Abyss installed index.html ?
What are you using to create your webpages ?

Are you sure you're not giving the html files a double html extension ? Windows hides file extensions on known file types by default, so if for example you create an index page in Notepad, save it as index.txt then rename it to index.htm you're likely to end up renaming it to index.htm.txt...

No we cant see the abbyss index.html page.

We use TopStyle and Homesite to create our pages, so we dont have any double extension problems.

I'm assuming some of outr settings have gone wrong, but cant for the life of me find which.

snowfruit,

Are you putting your HTML files in the right directory (the Documents path directory, by default /htdocs).

Yes, we changed the document root, but when we acces loclahost we can see the directory listings, and we can find graphics, php and other documents through the web server. Its only html pages that cause the 404 error

mxs,

If the files are not listed, this means that they aren't physically in the right directory.
If you are using a fresh Abyss installation, you must copy the files inside the /htdocs subdirectory located in the Abyss Web Server installation directory.

3 of us are Abyss
all 3 Windows PCs are configured the same and this is the only one that does not work.
All files are kept on a central Unix file server - this is mapped as the Z drive on all our PCs

The PC that does not work can parse all files except html
PHP is set up to parse html files as we often embed PHP code in older files.
ie. html is associated with php.exe

if I rename the file .php it works fine

html files are NOT listed and cannot be seen using Abyss


Perhaps there is a conflic somewhere ???



Regards

mxs,

Since this is a very special setting (a UNIX file server), we recommend checking the permissions and the configuration of the file server. Can a normal user on the Windows machine able to see these HTML files when it executes a "dir" on the DOS prompt?
