different www location

[vanimurarka 0]

I want all my website files to be in a different location, not under c:\uniserver\www. My website files are stored in a folder inside my Dropbox folder. Is there a way I can point Uniserver Apache to go to that folder, instead of c:\uniserver\www ?

 

Thanks ...

I have not used Dropbox however try the following:

Create a new directory in your dropbox folder name it www
I will assume the path is C:\Users\fred\Dropbox\www it will depend where you installed Dropbox.

Using the above information eidit Apache configuration file
C:\UniServer\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf

Change: DocumentRoot "C:/UniServer/www"
To: DocumentRoot "C:/Users/fred/Dropbox/www"


Change:

Options Indexes Includes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted


To:

Options Indexes Includes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted


Copy the content of folder C:\UniServer\www to folder C:\Users\fred\Dropbox\www

All the best
Ric

Thank you so much. It worked beautifully.

It would be nice if this was a feature, so when you add vhost you could either write the foldername fred123 and vhost/fred123 would be created.
But when you write a specific path for example C:\Users\fred\Dropbox\www it would detect the C: or similar then make the changes to necessary places to make that specific vhost documentroot instead of the manual tweak suggested.

What do you think Ric, would it be difficult to implement?
