Question

I have eclipse IDE and I have set up a workspace in "C:/users/matt/documents/web/". I set up a project called test in the folder test "C:/users/matt/documents/web/test". I have changed the Document root in the httpd file to "C:/users/matt/documents/web/" and the same for

I put "C:/users/matt/documents/web/test" into the browser but I can't access the files in the workspace, same for http://localhost/xampp/web/test/, http://localhost/web/test/ and http://localhost/test/.

I'm out of my depth with server configurations, please help!
