apache2
I have several folders in my /www folder that contain various applications. To keep things organized, I keep them in their own folders -- this includes my base application.
Examples:
- phpmyadmin = /www/phpmyadmin
- phpvirtualbox = /www/phpvirtualbox
- root domain site = /www/Landing
The reason I segregate all of my sites is that I actively develop on some of these (my root site) and when I publish via Visual Studio, I choose to delete prior to upload - if I put the Landing page in the base folder, it would be devastating for me.
My goal is that when I go to www.example.com - I go to my page. If I go to www.example.com/phpmyadmin, it does not work because of this in the Apache2 folder:
<Location "/"> # Error is the "/"
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
MonoSetServerAlias domain
SetHandler mono
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$" no-gzip dont-vary
</Location>
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/javascript
</IfModule>
If I change the location to say "/Other", then the base site is broken, and the aliases are restored for the other sites. If it is "/", then the base site works and no aliases work.
What could I do to allow it to treat my /www/Landing as my webroot, but when I go to an alias, it GOES to the alias.
Edit: Added in the default VirtualHost info.
