I have user files stored in a folder outside apache's documents root e.g. My project is in /var/www/ProjectName/ and the files are in local drive(D:\users).
I want to be able to link to those files from within my project. i am using symfony(php framework).
I trying to change the setting in apache like this, But no luck
Alias /users/ "D:\users"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
You have to update that in your httpd.conf or in your specified {name of your vhost}.conf.
Alias /users/ D:\users
Be sure to check the error log to see where here Apache tries to find the files.

I cant figure out why the .htaccess file is not being read. I am using XAMPP
Here is the httpd.conf file
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options None
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
I dont want content listing enabled except for one folder called photos.
so inside the photos directory inside htdocs- using notepad i created a .htaccess file and included
#Allow the listing of folder content
Options All
This did not work and the error log shows:
Cannot serve directory C:/xampp/htdocs/photos/: No matching DirectoryIndex (home.php,home.html,home.htm,index.php,index.html,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive
I also added rubbish to the beginning of the access file to see if it would reproduce an error but all it says is 403 forbidden.
Other things i tried was
#Allow the listing of folder content
Options Indexes
basically, for every folder there should be no content listing except for the photos folder which is why i created a .htaccess file and placed it inside the photo folders. (it must be a .htaccess)
any ideas why this is not working?
To anyone who comes across this needing help - I figured it out.
notepad was saving it as .htaccess.txt even after selecting 'All Files'
To fix this used brackets (you can use another other software like notepad++) and saved it under .htaccess and that worked.
I am trying to set up a WebDav server using sabre/dav. I got it set up and running and as long as I serve up files form with in the web server root (like /var/www/mydocs) I can access them in read-write mode. However, when I move sabre’s root directory to be like /mnt/mydocs I can only access them in read only mode. I do not think it is file permissions because I set them up the same both places and gave apache full access to both. I think it might be apache directory access directives but I have not found any combination that works. The last thing I tried in the apache config file was something like this.
<Directory “/mnt/mydocs”>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
How can I show file names in the directory listing on apache server.
I am using
Options +Indexes
I have also tried
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
in the root but I am not able to see file names only an empty structure
There are 4-5 files of different names and extension available in the folder.
If you're unable to generate auto index even after dabbling with file permissions; it is generally all thanks to IndexIgnore directive.
Check your server settings, going one step above from the current htaccess at a time. See where you encounter it.
Well, I have a website in apache directory: /var/www/html. Previously I had all my web images in /var/www/html/media, so I used to put /media/imgX.jpgfor loading them. but now I need to put them in /mnt/imgs.
For some reason, using this path does not work the same way as before.
I think it has something to do with permissions using files from outside apache directory but I am not sure about it. Any idea?
The easiest way to add directories to Apache httpd is to use the "alias" module:
Alias /images "/mnt/imgs"
<Directory "/mnt/imgs>
Options Indexes
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Once you have set up this, test it with: "yourdomain.com/images".
Of course:
The directory "/mnt/imgs" need the appropriate rights, so Apache Httpd can access it. Therefore you need to find out the group it runs with.
These files will be available to the public, if you dont secure them.
Once this is functional, remove the "indexes" line from the snippet above.
I currently have my WAMP installation at:
C:/wamp/www/
My issue:
When calling $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; from localhost/projectname1/test.php - this outputs:
C:/wamp/www/
This is no good since path in my scripts will be wrong then. I this case I want Document root to output (which is my alias path for this dummy project):
C:\Users\SGS\Google Drive\_Work\projectname1\html/
All my working files are on google drive, so for each project I create an Apache alias, that points to the direct path of the project located on google drive folder.
Example of an alias created - projectname1.conf:
Alias /projectname1/ "C:\Users\SGS\Google Drive\_Work\projectname1\html/"
<Directory "C:\Users\SGS\Google Drive\_Work\projectname1\html/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
This allow me to call the project with localhost/projectname1/
How do I get my document?
I think you would be better creating a Virtual host for each of your projects.
HowTo setup Virtual Hosts
The problem with SCRIPT_NAME is that it is not static because it is based on the name of current executing script. Before Apache 2.3.x becomes popularly adopted so that we can use CONTEXT_PREFIX variable, I'm afraid there's no solution.
