PHP directory organisation

[Anon]

Hi all,

Okay I am new at this so please bear with me. I am doing a project building a website using PHP.

My directory structure at university is

WWW -where my website should lie
WWW/cgi-bin -where I should put my php files
WWW/images -all my images

but I can't get anything to work. I have it set up on my home computer running of a localhost(apache server same as uni) and it works fine using the directory structure:
c:\program files\apache\htdocs....
WWW -all my files are in here
WWW/images -all my images

I rearranged all my links so that it should work with my university structure and put all my .htm files in the WWW root directory and all PHP files in the cgi-bin. All my permissions are set correctly.

I have an about.php that uses menu.htm and links.htm (using require()). However when I load up the page it is practically blank. It hasn't set the background or pulled in the pages I asked for.

I realise that there are probably quite a few things that it could be but I don't have the faintest idea where to look and would appreciate any help you could give me.

Thank you

Rosanna

Why are you putting your php files in your cgi-bin? Apache doesn't allow HTML pages to be served out of the cgi-bin. I imagine the same holds true for serving php pages out of a cgi-bin.

Whoops! I though that that was were you put script files. Have moved them back to the root directory and it is now working.

Thank you very very much for your help!
