I\'m running Apache on Windows XP via Xampplite, and could use help configuring my virtual directory. Here\'s what I\'m hoping to do on my dev box:
Problem resolved in a simplest way and less steps No Need of creating virtual host just change the location of target directory.
Here's what i have done for configuration: I've done it by editing the C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf file Changings that I have done in httpd.conf file Added this script right after ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/apache)/"
Alias /projectXYZ "C:/pathtomyproject" Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all
Pathtomyproject = Complete path of project
And changed the url of Document Root DocumentRoot " C:/pathtomyproject "
Now restart the Apache Server by stopping the server. I have stopped Apache server, and then again started the Apache Server.
