Yes and Yes. I actually totally rebooted my hard drive and I tried the back slashes and now I'm back to the forward slashes. I took them out of the end of the path though. I tried them every way possible. I am back to the forward slashes because of a friend telling me to keep them forward. Not sure if it is right or not.

I have changed my .conf a little since then in trying other things.

Here is a link to my .conf file.

http://diffenderfers.no-ip.com/docs/httpd.conf.txt

Here is what my hosts file says.

127.0.0.1 localhost grahampackco pct

and here is what I get when I type different things into the browser...

If I type in http://pct/ ... I get "the page cannot be displayed"

If I type in http://grahampackco ...I get "the page cannot be displayed"

If I type in http://localhost/... I get the grahampackco home page

Any ideas?

Thanks for all your help so far!

Also try leaving off the trailing \ like this:
DocumentRoot "c:\www\pct"

Did you restart Apache when you changed the httpd.conf file?

Checked everything out. It does work to replace the / with \. I checked the log files. If I try to type in http://pct/ it does not show up in the log file. Which makes one think that the server is not even seeing that as a request.

Any ideas?

I will check that out however if you look at the original httpd.conf file it is all forward slashes. I'm not sure why that is. As far as the log files. I did not really see anything.

For one, on Windows systems the directory structure goes like this:
DocumentRoot "c:\www\pct\"

I am not sure if the trailing slash is necessary either.

Your log files can also provide some insight into what is going on as well.
