Can I connect an external hard drive to my xampp server and have xampp draw files from it along with htdocs or is htdocs the only source. I set up some subdirectories and added some info in them but I have way too much data to be doing that. I was hoping I could just add my hard drive.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you can set up aliases. Just remember that external drives are usually not available for Windows services and some conditions would force a different drive letter. Those are unique cases, though.

Additionally to ALIAS, you also may create as many VirtualHosts as you like, each with his own DocumentRoot.

What about Google? "Apache Alias Documentation" and/or "Apache VirtualHost Tutorial" certainly returns tons of usefull links.
