php/apachy setup
Greetings mates,
This is probably a question I should have asked before I started learning PHP.
I have a few (about 3) php applications, each on its own folder with its own files.
I have successfully setup apache, php, mysql and phpadmin and as stated, they work fine.
My (silly) question if you will, is what, if any configuration do I need to so I can easily fire up the browser and test/run each of the apps I built?
In other words, assume that I have a folder with php files on C:\ drive called workersComp.
Inside this folder, there is a default page aptly called default.php.
Then I have another folder,a lso on C:\ drive called FIB with a set of other php files and its own default.php file.
What additional config do I need to do so that I can easily open the browser and type:
http://localhost/workersComp/ and it fires up that app.
Then I can then type http://localhost/FIB/ and it works as well?
Right now, I am not able to do that.
Sorry if this too simplistic - and thanks.

That is the correct solution.
You add anything that you want accessible to on the web with apache to the htdocs folder.

Great!
Thanks a lot.
Just one tiny (hopefully), little question and I am done.
Right now, if I fire it up on the web like:
http://localhost/WorkersComp/
it shows the directory listing all the files.
To make it work, I have to explicitly add the default file like:
http://localhost/WorkersComp/default.php.
That's not our preferred method, not the best practice anyway.
What do I need to change, I suppose in httpd.conf ( I suppose) so users will not be required to explicitly type default.php or index.php?
Any ideas?

Adding each folder in htdocs will expose it to the browser.
I will wait for confirmation though.
Thanks
