WampServer

Hello folks,

I'm running version 1.61 of WAMP and I was wondering if it's possible to set 2 DIFFERENT Apache's www root directories in the httpd.conf files ?
If so how do I go about making the necessary changes?

If you want to have more than 1 website/domain, you should setup Virtual Host, check the guide on my personal website

But wait a second, aren't virtual hosts for allowing local and global access of your sites? I'm not trying to grant access to the site.

I currently have set in my httpd.conf=> DocumentRoot "Z:/www" which tells Apache where my DocuentRoot folder is. However, I want to add a second folder as a DocumentRoot let say at path D:/Wamp/www hence comes the question,how do I set 2 DIFFERENT Apache's www root directories in the httpd.conf files if at all possible ?

Nope, you can use it local only
Anyway, post your real purpose because it's a little confused why you need 2 document roots

I was thinking the same thing as well - I have about 7 sites to work on and need them all in my localhost set up. I use to use a full server package a few months back and had the conf file set up to allow me to just add to it each site and point it correctly and it worked great - I would have though the same of WAMP...

The Vitual hosting is very confusing to me - as I am trying to understand it but I also don't understand why it would need to be used.

I think what he is wanting - as am I - we want to have WAMP run more than just one site - with out major renaming of folders and such. Example... If we want to work on Site 1 then site 2 later - we should be able to go to ...

localhost.site1.com then later
localhost.site2.com

and they both work - with nothing else needed from us once it is set up.

I could really use this big time as well.

Any pointers please let me know.

To make it easy, convenient, and attarct more customers, your host wrote the script for users to use and I do have a simple script to do just that, but it's for older wamp version and I need to modify it to work w/ wamp 2 ;-)
