WampServer

I have a new install of latest version of WAMP.

I would like to have the root folder "d:/wamp/www/" to basically allow everything for all folders in it. I can't seem to make this happen....

I can however give folders in it whatever rights I need to like this:

<Directory "d:/wamp/www/folder1/">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
DirectoryIndex default.php
Require all granted
</Directory>

But I don't want to add the above code for every folder I add to the root.

I've tried adding the following, but this still doesn't work:

DocumentRoot "d:/wamp/www"
<Directory "d:/wamp/www/">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Thanks for any advice on this.

Hi,

Use VirtualHost : The need for Virtual Host

For DirectoryIndex, you can modify httpd.conf:

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm
</IfModule>

Strange, I wasn't using Virtual Hosts before - not sure why I need to use these now, unless something has changed with the later versions of WAMP.

Can you explain why it doesn't work with what I currently have in the httpd.conf file?

If you have the skills to make it work however you want to make it work then thats fine, go ahead.

However if you want any support from this site, Virtual Hosts are considered the best way to go for many reasons. None of which I can be bothered to mention at this time. Its the 'if you want support' bit that shoudl catch your attention.

That's fine - I wasn't trying to be a rebel - I was merely asking a question. I'm not a WAMP expert, and since I wasn't doing it that way before (perhaps incorrectly), I didn't know if I had it previously set up wrong.

I will check out the virtual hosting. Thanks.
