Greetings. I am setting up Apache 1.3.2 under Win NT 4.0. I'm a brand new
user, so if this question has been asked before, apologies in advance.

I have installed the server on my C: drive, and I want my HTML documents to
reside on my E: drive. I set the Apache srm.conf file to

DocumentRoot "E:/htdocs"

and the access.conf file to

When I start the Apache service in NT, it starts with no errors. On the
host machine, entering http://localhost/ shows the index.html file in the
E:/htdocs directory. However, when I tested the server from another machine
running Netscape Communicator via the internet, I do not see the index.html
file, but rather get an FTP style access to the C: directory.

What have I done wrong and what do I need to change? Thanks for any
guidance.

Are you really pointing the browser on another machine to http://localhost/
and hoping to get the webpage on your server?!?

localhost usually refers to the machine you're currently using, hence the
'local' part. Which machine's C: drive do you see?

No, I know that much at least! I meant to say I type "localhost" on a
browser at the server. From a second machine with dial up connection, I do
not get to the index.html on the server. Sorry for the confusion.
