WampServer

Trying to setup a virtual test web server. That works with wamp, except for one major problem. I have a network share on the host system \\abc\websites\site\public._html that has the website I am working on. I want the website files on the host so I can edit them without the server being turned on, or having to copy the files to the test server as I edit them. I created an alias that has the following in the configuration:

Alias /site "\\abc\Websites\site\public_html/"

<Directory "\\abc\Websites\site\public_html/">
Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

When I go to access /site, i get a forbidden page. The share's permissions are read/write for everyone with password protected sharing turned off. The host is windows 7. In Windows Explorer on the guest server (windows 2008) I can read and write to the share without any problems or having to log in. Error log shows client denied by server configuration: C:/ABC

What gives? Anyone have any idea?

Firstly map the drive with a letter

but i dont think Alias don't work on network drives

you should try virtual hosts

Oh great, now default wamp aliases don't work, i get 403 instread. I use phpmyadmin all the time. Wonderful. I have access to the website I am working on, I think. Without phpmyadmin, i don't know.

Yeah, virtual servers won't work for me. I have over 3 dozen websites I am working on. I need them to be aliases. I'm not throwing 36 virtual hosts into my clients host file, no way. The only way to get this going is turn my client system into a server. And that doesn't even work. Fresh install of wamp and I get forbidden on wamp's home directory.

What a pain. over 72 hours of bull shitting around to make development easier for me and I am still nowhere.

Now I am getting somewhere. I commented all the deny from all lines and added Allow from all in all the aliases and the home directory. Now I have access to everything again and the virtual host seems to be almost cooperating. I have swiss cheesed my security, but oh well. Fix that later.

Now joomla just won't work. Even on a new installation, joomla exceeds the 30 second execution limit. Kinda strange.
