Problem when changing WAMP "Documentroot" setting in Apache httpd file

14 June 2008 at 8:00am
Hi There
This may be a ridiculously easy fix, but sometimes you cant see the forest for the trees
I have installed SS 2.2.2 onto a PC running WAMP.
Everything works great, CMS etc... but when the time arrives for me to "go-live", I want my users to access a root URL, not a URL, then subfolder (such as "silverstripe-v2.2.2")
I have read the documentation for SS, and it advises on how to change the Documentroot setting, and associated Directory, to "silverstripe-v2.2.2"
Once I update the httpd file, and restart Apache, I type in "localhost", and get a file not found error...
Hopefully someone has had the same issue, and a simple fix ensues...
Thanks in advance

This is probably due to a RewriteBase in .htaccess.
Edit .htaccess and change the line:
RewriteBase /silverstripe-v2.2.2/
toRewriteBase /
Also, the document root setting must be a full path to the folder.

Thanks for that - I forgot to menion I was using the full path as the documentation advised...
In any case, your suggestion worked!
Thanks!
