Apache Directory browsing
Does anyone know how I can enable apache to browse in a partition other than where the home page is stored? I have my Homepage in the I: partition, windows xp pro installed int he C: partition. Is it paossible to browse the C: or A: drive and how would I set it up? Also is it possible to browse a mapped network drive?

You cannot browse the directories higher than the root directory.
As Leviter suggested above, you should use Apache's mod_alias, it's usually loaded in apache default install. Put this in your httpd.conf file below the last </directory>:
Alias /c "C:/"
<directory "C:/">
Options +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>
You have to change the allow,deny part, to make your hard disks NOT world readable.

Awesome, I did it and it works great! Is there a way to view a networked drive from my webpage outside of my intranet? I have a mapped drive from another computer mapped as the B: drive on my server computer. Is there a way I can browse this as well?
You should be able to do it just the same way...
Alias /b "B:/"
<directory "B:/">
Options +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>
Just change the path alias and two ocurrences of the directory you'd like to browse.
Btw, Options +Indexes is the command that allows apache to show directory contents.

I tried that and it didn't work. I'm not sure if it's possible to view a network drive I don't think I could on IIS. Do you know another way? Also is there a PHP script that would allow my to delete files on my server from the internet?
