absolute path in windows xp

when using absolute path, the root starts with E:/

Hello Everybody, I'm relatively new to apache. I installed easyphp, for simplicity sake, on my local windows xp pro machine to develop sites that will be uploaded to a linux apache server. the problem i am having is that when I use absolute paths in my php code to include files, images, etc.., in my local machine, the root starts in E:/ instead of my ServerRoot, which is E:/mySite. The reason why i have the site on the "mySite" directory is because later i want to create "mySite2", "mySite3", etc.. in the same server. Is there a way where I can tell apache to use different roots for each site. For example, if I am developing mySite2, I would like to be able to do this: <img src=”/imges/image1.jpg> and retrieve the image E:/mySite2/images/image1.jpg. Thanks in advanced.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, pinchico21.

Apache has exactly what you need there in a directive named DocumentRoot [httpd.apache.org]. Also, there is a tip in the PHP Forum here at WebmasterWorld that will give you some ideas on how you can setup your PHP includes. Have a look at message number 17 in Good PHP solutions to small problems [webmasterworld.com]

Hey Coopster, thanks for the reply. It looks like I've figured it out with the DocumentRoot.
