cant get apache working

please help this time!

[satsteve]

I have tried to follow the instructons on setting up apache, php5 on wimdows from the article on your fourm [webmasterworld.com...]

I install apache and it works (I can start and stop it!) The problems start when I alter the httpd.conf file. If I make the alterations to line 228 so that it reads....."C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs" and then alter line 253 to..<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"

Id I try to restart apache I get the following message
invalid command "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs" perhaps mispelled or defined by a module not included in the server

Please advise

Did you forget the closing bracket there?

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">

Line 228
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"

Line 253
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">

This is how both lines look on mine

are you sure you rem the comments #

also are you sure that you installed every components in oder to match your path from root

have you tried any custom modif before getting that error.

Why "... this time" in your sub-title"
have you been previously left un-help?

regards

thanks for help people. I am not sure what was different from before but when I restart apache now I no longer get the error message. When I type [locahost...] I get the apache page Hooraa

I had left questions on the post about setting this all up but nobody replied so I tried a new thread and here you all are! Fantastic

Thanks again
On to loading php5- gulp
