strange : ghost files ??

Hi

I developed a site in C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/www/

When it was finished I put it on line and removed all the files from that directory - so now when I look in C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/www/ it's empty

but - when I do WEB LOCAL from the EASYPHP taskbar icon ( [127.0.0.1] ) the original site still shows up !

when I look in [127.0.0.1] I've got
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/"
<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/">

but when I open C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/apache/conf/http.conf I've got
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/www"
<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-5.3.3/www">


I have restarted the server several times

what am I doing wrong ???

thanks

If I rename the www directory to "zwww" in windows and then go to [127.0.0.1] - the directory is listed with the new name, I click on it and it's empty

If I rename it back to "www" in windows, go to [127.0.0.1] and click on "www" it displays the site that used to be in there

I think it could be some kind of cache problem, maybe ? what would I need to do to sort this out ?

ctrl F5 to delete your browser cache.

in fact I had already done that

now when I go to Web Local in Easyphp in the browser I get the IndexOf listing and it shows a "www" dir and a "zwww" dir (see pic [www.box.net] ) but in my PC windows file explorer only the zwww dir is listed (again, see pic)

I think this is because, as a test, I had renamed "www" to "zwww" just to see what would get listed ... and both of them are !!

when I click on "zwww" I get the real dir that exists now with the real contents, and when I click on "www" I get the old dir and the site that was in it that doesn't exist any more !!!

so this makes me tyhink it's some kind of server cache problem

If you use Vista or Seven, please disable UAC ;)

UAC use virtual folders that don't help at all.

Hi

yes I'm using Windows 7 and the User Account Control thing was the problem - I switched it off and rebooted and it works fine now

so, many thanks :)

forgot to mark it SOLVED !!

You shouls not see insstallation dir on "Web Lobal".

Did you change documentRoot, create alaises or someting else ?
