Using a directory in VirtualHost ServerName

Question

I\'m currently using name-based virtual host configuration, to server about 5 different websites from the same IP address, just like in the apache documentation:

<         


        

Answer 1

It's not possible the way you show - a VirtualHost is always just a host. But you could use an Alias.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/domain

Alias /folderpath /www/software

</VirtualHost>

Answer 2

Is it possible to have a different vhost for each application like that:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
Alias otherApp /www/otherApp
</VirtualHost>

Answer 3

I add to the alias.conf file (on a windows machine).
Remember that if it outside the 'document root' path, you'll need permissions

<IfModule alias_module>

    #### FolderPath ####
    Alias /folderpath "E:/any/path/you/like"

    <Directory "E:/any/path/you/like">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    #### Another ####
    Alias /another "E:/another/different/path"

    <Directory "E:/another/different/path">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

</IfModule>
