/ home / user / Projects中的PHP项目 - 如何配置apache？

Question

I have a PHP project located at:

/home/hommer/Projects/Joomla

I know that if I place the project itself in /var/www/Joomla it would work, but how can I tell Apache to go and look in that directory, or if in the future I have another directory, to look into that other directory too?

I am under Ubuntu 12.10.

Answer 1

You could use a symlink (symbolic link) in /var/www to point to /home/hommer/Projects/Joomla.

$ cd /var/www
$ sudo ln -s /home/hommer/Projects/Joomla Joomla

Then you will have to configure the right permissions.

Also, if you want to do that, check that your Apache configuration allows this, by adding FollowSymLinks in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf (or the config file you're using for /var/www):

DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    ...
</Directory>

Eventually, the complete path must be executable by Apache, so you can do that:

$ sudo o+x chmod /home /home/hommer /home/hommer/Projects /home/hommer/Projects/Joomla
