xampp
how a folder outside the /htdocs/ like on:
like c:/, D:/ (my second disk), dvd e:/ or, usb stick h:/

can be accessed local host in other words like were/located in /htdocs/...?

well?

Alias. An example is already present in your httpd.conf file (look at phpmyadmin). Just use your drive designator in conjunction.

EDIT: Actual location is \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf

where is this docs?

you mean this: // what do for all d:/photos/ my second hdd drive my second drive? can use and dvdrom drive?

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp">
    <IfModule php5_module>
       <Files "status.php">
          php_admin_flag safe_mode off
       </Files>
    </IfModule>
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>

<IfModule alias_module>
    Alias /security "C:/xampp/security/htdocs/"
    <Directory "C:/xampp/security/htdocs">
        <IfModule php5_module>
          <Files "xamppsecurity.php">
             php_admin_flag safe_mode off
          </Files>
        </IfModule>
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
   </Directory>

Yes. As you can see, with the help of ALIAS.

Read the documentation about ALIAS and follow the examples.

alias in what doc? xampp or php or can you tell url?

My example: http://localhost/edit
My setup (C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf as discussed in the post above). Near the bottom (look for phpMyAdmin also discussed above) I added this:

Code: Select all

    Alias /edit "C:/xampp/edit/"
    <Directory "C:/xampp/edit">
        AllowOverride all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

I can't hold your hand any better than that.

xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf correct the file ext in our post must be ".conf"

tried but did not work... same(C:/) or differ drive(G:/)?
Alias /video "C:/Users/User/Pictures/"
<Directory "C:/Users/User/Pictures">
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /video2 "G:/Downloads/video2/"
<Directory "G:/Downloads/video2">
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>

Yes. Typo from doing more than one thing at a time...

Was it a 403 error? What does "not work" mean? Not sure you will be able to do anything in the UAC protected folders. Other thing I forgot was I modified this line for the xampp security concept.
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info|edit))">

what is this line you talk about?
error:
Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 403

localhost
Apache/2.4.2 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.4

change that line and somehow message altered... see:
Access forbidden!

New XAMPP security concept:

Access to the requested object is only available from the local network.

This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
