JonB,
Here are some more details...
I'm using a dual-boot system and have all my data files (including htdocs) on a windows (ntfs) partition. I am running Xampp from my Linux OS.
I have modified /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf in two places to point to the windows folder:
lines 179-180:
- Code: Select all
#DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "/media/data/Users/Paul/WebFiles/htdocs"
lines 208-209:
- Code: Select all
#<Directory "/opt/lampp/htdocs">
<Directory "/media/data/Users/Paul/WebFiles/htdocs">
In the /opt/lampp folder, I have have the added this link:
- Code: Select all
htdocs -> /media/data/Users/Paul/WebFiles/htdocs
I renamed the original /opt/lampp/htdocs to /opt/lampp/~htdocs to "inactivate" it and copied all the files in htdocs to /media/data/Users/Paul/WebFiles/htdocs.
Xampp works fine and utilizes the files in the linked htdocs directory. The only problem seems to be the display of ther Xampp version on the Xampp home page.
I have not changed the ServerRoot location in /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf. It is still
- Code: Select all
ServerRoot "/opt/lampp"
So, although the Xampp version is not displayed correctly on the Xampp home page, the impact seems to be trivial since Xampp works just fine. I guess I'll just leave it alone unless you or someone can point to a quick fix.
Thanks for your input.
