Apache root ?

**jutah** · 09-26-2001 03:21 PM

A friend of mine wanted to be able to get some of my mp3's so I put up a simple page so he could download them. I wrote a PHP script that listed all my files in my htdocs dir and then made links to all the files so he could dL them. It worked fine when all the mp3's were in the htdocs(server root) dir, but when I made a sub dir called music in the htdocs dir he couldn't download them? I want to be able to just list the mp3's, not all the files in the htdocs. Do I have to mess with the conf file to allow multiple acsessable dirs?
thanks

Needs to adjust the PHP script to work within the new folder. (Repoint where it looks for files)

Post the script?

Here is the script
<?

$dir_name = "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\music";
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
$file_list = "<ul>";

while($file_name = readdir($dir))
{
if(($file_name != ".") && ($file_name != ".."))
{
$file_list .= "<li><a href=/music/$file_name>$file_name</a>";
}
}

$file_list .= "</ul>";

closedir($dir);

?>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> File Listing </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<P> Files in: <? echo "$dir_name"; ?> </P>

<? echo "$file_list"; ?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks

Sorry, guess I misunderstood you. Seeing as you wrote that script yourself, I asssume the problem isn't with rewriting the script, it's with giving the script permission to read the subdir & link to & dL files within that.

I have zero experience with Apache. Oops. Sorry if I wasted your time there.

OTOH, temporary workaround: keep the mp3s in the root folder and add this code:

PHP Code:


if(($file_name != ".") && ($file_name != "..") && ereg(".mp3",$file_name))
