setting root directory

[ericmarsh]

I am trying to setup an apache test server on my XP machine. I already have a website built on a Linux box using php. I have used full paths in all of my include statements through out the site (i.e /home/my_dir/public_html/include.php). The problem is that on my XP machine using the forward slash at the beginning of the include statement automaticly references my c:/ thus messing up all of my include paths.

The directory structure on my XP machine is as follows
c:/web/my_website/home/my_dir/public_html

How how to make "/" in an include statement reference my "c:/web" directory instead of my "c:/" directory. To make this even more complex, I am using a virual host in my httpd.conf file.

Here are the highlights from my httpd.conf file
ServerRoot "C:/web"
DocumentRoot "C:/web"

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "c:/web/my_site/home/my_dir/public_html"
ServerPath my_site
ServerName my_site
php_value include_path ".;c:/web"
</VirtualHost>

As you can see I tried setting the c:/web as my include path, but this still does not work.

Any help anyone can offer I would really apreciate

Thanks in advance

chroot()

Thanks for the idea, but according to the link, chroot is not supported on the Windows platform. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

reference everything by prepending $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']? that's about all you can do bsides putting this on a separate drive.

I was hoping that I would not have to edit the files again, but if that is what it takes, that is what it takes.

Thanks for your help!
