Apache Child Directory Issue

Problem with PHP script execution in ScriptAliased directory.

[calmchess]

I created a child directory in the root of my webserver.....i configure an alias and a script alias which points to the child directory.....HTML works fine in the new child directory but PHP pages created using Macromedia Dreamweaver....won't run properly in the child directory, but if i copy the same page into the root directory it functions properly.

It looks like moving the script broke its path to "ledger" -- I don't know DW, so I don't know what that really means, except that you may need to adjust the paths in the script to work in its new 'home'.

I modified the 'description' of this thread to (hopefully) attract more competent advice.

BTW i expect to see a dynamic form which allows me to access and manipulate data within mysql database.....As i said before if i put it in the root directory it functions properly...but in the child directroy its broken....I'm creating child directories so i can keep my pages organized....i don't like too many pages in a single directory...six pages is my goal for each directory....however i still want my pages and scripts to function in each child directory created.

yes u are correct......i built a test script outside dreamweaver and it ran....so now i have narrowed down the problem to dreameweaver.....thnx for helping me keep my focus....distractions often lead me in the wrong direction....

I fixed my problem completely after i changed the site location within dreamweaver to the child directory and rebuilt the script.
