$root_path=$_SERVER problem

[fleming]

I have a CMS in php, and I am trying to set it up so I can view the site locally.

I had setup my MySQL database and everything, but for some reason I keep getting an error that is being referred to something in regards to my root_path.

This is what I have at the beginning of every file:

// get the document root - for use on include files

$root_path=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

Am I suppose to change what is inside ['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ? Maybe to localhost ?

I am sorry if this is not enough info, but I was able to view some of the content, but every error through out a problem with my root path.

Is there something I need to do to make it so I can view these PHP files locally only?

Do you require any other info?

I had installed my Apache and MySQL by using WAMP.

Thanks for any help!

you need to install PHP along with Apache, and MySQL.

WAMP does install all the necessary things:

1. MySQL

2. Apache

3. PHP

rootdomain

HTTP_HOST

PHP_SELF

localedir

rooturl
