Kuroki Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hello All, I'm encountering some issues trying to get an http server running on a Windows XP Home box. My goal: a VOD server that allows VLC to stream all my media from my XP box. My problem: all the media is stored on an external hard drive, and Apache doesn't like it. On my MacBook Pro, I can make this work with lighttpd: just set the docroot to the mountpoint of the external drive. However, this isn't working right on Windows. I've never tried to use Apache before, but I'm using it now in lieu of lighttpd because it's the only httpd that runs natively on XP. Apache makes it easy by putting a link to the configuration file on the start menu, so I changed the server root to "F:" in httpd.conf. I looked at the error log, and it's not printing any errors even though my browser is getting 404. I would appreciate even the wildest guesses as to what is happening here, as I am completely clueless. Thanks a lot,Kuroki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
