not sure I can do that I havent opened the site to the public and I set up the apache server on my local machine for testing and debugging purposes so basically I have an apache server setup on a common network client PC in short. Let me see what I can work out though.
nevermind I was being thick headed as usual. What I neglected to do was to remove some options that windows puts in to be "helpful" like removing file extensions from being viewed.
