I am running Apache 2.0.50 on Windows XP (SP2). It won't interpret the CSS or display images on anything that is accessed locally. Everything is lined up along the left side of the page. There are image marker present.

Anyone know where I could start looking to solve this?

have you checked if the files actually exist?

Apache doesn't parse css or images, your browser does that.

You can check if Apache can find the files by visiting the urls to the css/image, if it returns a 404 Not Found error you know the problem and should make sure the css/images are in correct directory and point to it.

you can also check your Apache error log (error.log) and see if there are 404 Not Found errors in there, or other errors, like Forbidden

The files are there and they coded correctly. However, you did help me find the problem. When I put in URLs like you suggested I got a 403 error, access forbidden. I am logged in as administrator so I should not be blocked from anything. What would cause this?

The error.log says:

It says "DocumentRoot [/www/index.html] does not exist". I checked. It does exist. However, the httpd.conf has the DocumentRoot as, C:/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs". Shouldn't it be reading from there and not www. So, I'm confused.

Problem solved!

I had the DocumentRoot labeled wrong in the VirtualHost. I had it /www/index.html and it should have been just /www/.

Thanks for the help.
