I have two virtual hosts on my server. One "web" and one "mobile". I can view files from the "web" under the directory "users" normally but I cannot upload or create directories under it?!!
for example:
<img src='http://m.domain.com/users/imgs/sample.png' /> this is viewable
//this is not possible
<?php
mkdir("users/newDir"); //fails
$img = file_get_contents("http://images.devshed.com/fds/belts/ds_forums.gif");
$file = "users/newDir/sample.gif";
file_put_contents($file, $img); //fails
$img = file_get_contents("http://images.devshed.com/fds/belts/ds_forums.gif");
$file = "users/sample.gif";
file_put_contents($file, $img); //fails
?>
I have the following under my mobile virtual to point to the files on my "web":
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias m.domain.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache/mobileroot"
<Directory "C:/Apache/mobileroot">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /users/ "C:/Apache/webroot/users/"
<Directory "C:/Apache/webroot/users/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
