Public Screenshots On Dedicated Server

Post by .=QUACK=.Major.Pain »

I am trying to see if I can get pb screenshots setup so our clan can access them.
Basically make them publicly viewable.

I have been reading and found out the Appache has to be installed.
I have WAMP installed and running, and I also read that I have to edit the http.conf and add some lines to make the folder available. WAMP has httpd.conf, which I assumed is the same, and when I add the lines suggested, I now get forbidden access response where I was initially getting page cannot be displayed messages.

I guess I am doing something slightly wrong.

Any easy instructions on how to set this up?

Not sure if things have changed or not, but last I understood, wamp was not meant to be used on as a live server. Its a developer tool if I recall. I quickly removed it from our VPS for that reason. I installed and use Abyss web server, and it has worked flawlessly. You do have to go in an setup php though. I does not execute it by default, but it is pretty simple to do. I strongly suggest you try Abyss or something like it, instead on wamp.

From what I read, all you need to do is install apache on the server.
But setting it up properly has been the issue.

Apache or another server should work, but WAMP may not be the best choice.

You will need to make sure that the PB screenshot folder can be seen by your Apache user, that it has an appropriate <Directory> specification in the httpd.conf file or another file being processed by Apache (one which also has Indexes on the Options line), and that your DocumentRoot is set to the PB screenshot folder.
