WampServer

Hi all.

This can't be difficult for you guys.

I've found my virtual hosts work perfectly if they are in /wamp64/www/website.
However, if I house them in any other directory wamp fails to access them.

Is this normal or do I need to tweek wamp so it will also work outside wamp?

I've checked the vhost and it seems fine.

Hi,

If you move a folder in a VirtualHost, how do you expect Apache to know about it if you don't tell it!

You need to modify DocumentRoot and <Directory ...> in the relevant VirtualHost to reflect the new paths and restart Apache for this to be taken into account.

Hi,

If, originally, your local site is in c:\wamp64\www\site_dir\ and if the name of your site is "mysite", the relevant VirtualHost is :

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName mysite
  DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/site_dir"
  <Directory "c:/wamp64/www/site_dir/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require local
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

If you move your site to d:\www\site_dir\, the VirtualHost must be changed to :

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName mysite
  DocumentRoot "d:/www/site_dir"
  <Directory "d:/www/site_dir/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require local
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
