Where is my Users/-myusername-/Sites folder in 1.8.2?

Postby DJAY » 16. July 2013 20:18

I just installed version 1.8.2, and couldn't figure out how to navigate to my Sites folder via the localhost.

In my old version of XAMPP, I could go to http://localhost/~myusername/ and that would point to my Sites folder under the user "myusername". I'm pretty sure that was set up automatically in the old version - unless I forgot about setting up an alias or something.

Is this not in the new version?

If it is not, how can I create a reference to it such as http://localhost/sites/

Right now I have the main DocumentRoot changed to my Sites location as a temporary fix.

I tried creating an alias and a virtual host but to no avail. Not sure what I was doing wrong - I tried it quite a few ways.

Thanks in advance.

Solved!

This worked for me:
open the file
Code: Select all
Applications/XAMPP/etc/httpd.conf

uncomment line 482
Code: Select all
Include etc/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

save and close the file

open the file
Code: Select all
Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-userdir.conf

replace line 10 with
Code: Select all
UserDir Sites

replace line 10 with
Code: Select all
<Directory "/Users/*/Sites/">

save and close the file

restart Apache
that's all!
