Hi

I really could not understand how this gonna really help me!!


My query is to know how can i access path outside wamp installation folder

As by default the hyperlinks are looking for the path inside "www", hence saying resource not found.

I want to access someother pdf files which i don't want to include in www folder, but wanted them access on clicks.

So my question is, how can i add that path so that wamp will also know it, along with www.

Thank you.

The link Oto gave you is to the Apache Manual.
ALL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT APACHE is in the manual.IF YOU READ IT !!

He even saved you the time of finding the relevant page.
I am giving you the section of that page that you definitely need to read AND UNDERSTAND

-> Files Outside the DocumentRoot

Yeah sure i've tried add those lines

in httpd.conf file. After

Include "${INSTALL_DIR}/alias/*"

Alias "/userdocs" "E:/"
<Directory "E:/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Multiviews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Hi,

> Order Allow,Deny
> Allow from all
It is for Apache 2.2, not for Apache 2.4

There are examples of alias (PhpMyAdmin, Adminer, PhpSysInfo) in wamp/alias/ folder

Thank you


Similar to phpmyadmin.conf i changed the httpd.conf as follows

Alias /userdocs  "E:/"

<Directory "E:/">

    Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Multiviews
    AllowOverride all
    <ifDefine APACHE24>
        Require local
    </ifDefine>

    <ifDefine !APACHE24>
        Order Deny, Allow
        Deny from none
        Allow from ip 12.18.4
    </ifDefine>
</Directory>

After that restarted wamp services still it didn,t go green

Hi,

Sometimes you have to think about the integrated tools of Wampserver, for example:

Right-click -> Tools -> Check httpd.conf syntax

and, look, there are others.

Hi,

Here is a method that works perfectly, but you can do it differently and declare the alias somewhere else.

File wamp(64)/alias/userdocs.conf

Alias /userdocs "F:/userdocs/"

<Directory "F:/userdocs/">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride all
  Require local
</Directory>

Into the F:/userdocs/ folder there is a file attention.pdf.

In your VirtualHost code :

<a href='userdocs/attention.pdf'>Hello</a>

Hi


Sorry to trouble you again

i've tried

Alias /docs "E:/"

<Directory "E:/">

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

 AllowOverride all

  Require local

Require ip 12.18.4

</Directory>

where saving these lines in docs.conf file in wamp(64)/alias/

I have added the below hyperlink in index.html file in my project folder

<a href="docs/hello.pdf">Hello</a>, where hello.pdf is in E:/


Now i tried to run the local host as


[12.18.4.1]


When i'm clicking on that hyperlink i could see the following error

404 Not found

The requested url of the projectfolder/docs/hello.pdf was not found on the server.

First I suggest you create a Virtual Host for your project See here how to do that[/url

Then we can add the Alias to the Virtual Host file.
