Make XAMPP/Apache serve file outside of htdocs

 

Is it possible to configure xampp to serve up a file outside of the htdocs directory?

For instance, say I have a file located as follows:

C:projectstransitCalculatortrunkTransitCalculator.php

and my xampp files are normally served out from:

C:xampphtdocs

(because that's the default configuration) Is there some way to make Apache recognize and serve up my TransitCalculator.php file without moving it under htdocs ? Preferably I'd like Apache to serve up/have access to the entire contents of the projects directory, and I don't want to move the projects directory under htdocs .

Ok, per pix0r's, Sparks' and Dave's answers it looks like there are three ways to do this:

Virtual Hosts

  • Open C:xamppapacheconfextrahttpd-vhosts.conf.
  • Un-comment line 19 ( NameVirtualHost *:80 ).

  • Add your virtual host (~line 36): 

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot C:ProjectstransitCalculatortrunk
    ServerName transitcalculator.localhost
    <Directory C:ProjectstransitCalculatortrunk>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

  • Open your hosts file (C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts).

  • Add 

    127.0.0.1 transitcalculator.localhost #transitCalculator

    to the end of the file (before the Spybot - Search & Destroy stuff if you have that installed).

  • Save (You might have to save it to the desktop, change the permissions on the old hosts file (right click > properties), and copy the new one into the directory over the old one (or rename the old one) if you are using Vista and have trouble).
  • Restart Apache.

    • Now you can access that directory by browsing to http://transitcalculator.localhost/.

    Make an Alias

  • Starting ~line 200 of your http.conf file, copy everything between <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs"> and </Directory> (~line 232) and paste it immediately below with C:/xampp/htdocs replaced with your desired directory (in this case C:/Projects ) to give your server the correct permissions for the new directory.

  • Find the <IfModule alias_module></IfModule> section (~line 300) and add 

    Alias /transitCalculator "C:/Projects/transitCalculator/trunk"

    (or whatever is relevant to your desires) below the Alias comment block, inside the module tags.

    • Change your document root

  • Edit ~line 176 in C:xamppapacheconfhttpd.conf; change DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" to #DocumentRoot "C:/Projects" (or whatever you want).

  • Edit ~line 203 to match your new location (in this case C:/Projects ).

    • Notes:

  • You have to use forward slashes "/" instead of back slashes "".
  • Don't include the trailing "/" at the end.
  • restart your server.

    • You can relocate it by editing the DocumentRoot setting in XAMPPapacheconfhttpd.conf.

    It should currently be:

    C:/xampp/htdocs

    Change it to:

    C:/projects/transitCalculator/trunk

    A VirtualHost would also work for this and may work better for you as you can host several projects without the need for subdirectories. Here's how you do it:

    httpd.conf (or extrahttpd-vhosts.conf relative to httpd.conf. Trailing slashes "" might cause it not to work): 

    NameVirtualHost *:80
# ...
<VirtualHost *:80>  
    DocumentRoot C:projectstransitCalculatortrunk
    ServerName transitcalculator.localhost
    <Directory C:projectstransitCalculatortrunk>  
        Order allow,deny  
        Allow from all  
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

    HOSTS file (c:windowssystem32driversetchosts usually): 

    # localhost entries
127.0.0.1 localhost transitcalculator.localhost

    Now restart XAMPP and you should be able to access http://transitcalculator.localhost/ and it will map straight to that directory.

    This can be helpful if you're trying to replicate a production environment where you're developing a site that will sit on the root of a domain name. You can, for example, point to files with absolute paths that will carry over to the server: 

    <img src="/images/logo.png" alt="My Logo" />

    whereas in an environment using aliases or subdirectories, you'd need keep track of exactly where the "images" directory was relative to the current file.
