mod note: shrinked the log a bit

I see nothing wrong, I do see Apache is configured for port 8000 not 8001 as you stated. You do not have a valid ServerName so Apache is defaulting to your LAN IP, which should cause no problems.

http://localhost:8000
http://192.168.1.5:8000
http://your.wan.ip:8000

thanks first of all for clarifing that it works but i would like to know why my files (new text document.txt) will not show when i click any of the links you gave me.

if i dont click these links to get to the site or page then what do i type.

thanks again

my problems that were probably not stated on the log because of the error # 3

1.) httpd.exe: could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name using 192.168.1.5 for servername

2.) (OS 10048) only one usage of each socket address is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8000 no listening sockets available, shutting down

unable to open logs

[mbg19chev02]

my port is 8000 on port forward and the config file

not 8001 that is a typo

thanks

[glsmith]

again, the server name one is rather benign,

2.) (OS 10048) only one usage of each socket address is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:8000 no listening sockets available, shutting down

this one however means something else is listening on port 8000. Since I see by the other stuff if was working, here you may be trying to start 2nd instance of Apache using say a console while the service is already running.

for a document.txt file a URL would be the same as above with /document.txt tacked onto the end of any one.

ok thanks a bunch i see the text file

but heres the thing..... it wont let me see the text file by itself to click it and/or download it from like an index list or something.

like i saw from this video from you tube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r2JnmaWtck&feature=related

[glsmith]

<Directory C:/www/mysite>
Options Indexes
..
..
</Directory>

[mbg19chev02]

what? sorry what are you telling me to do...im a beginner with apache

[glsmith]

The setting for directory indexes is just that .. Indexes in the options inside the Directory container.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options

[mbg19chev02]

o man yea still very confused

sorry

[glsmith]

ok .. say document root is c:\www\mysite

then in httpd.conf

<Directory "c:/www/mysite">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride whatever
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

The Indexes option turns on directory index listings
