Setting Up Apache Virtual Hosts on a Drive Other Than C:

Question

I've successfully set up virtual hosts before on my C: drive, but now I want to set some up on my D: drive. I follow the setup instructions here, but when I click the WAMP icon to restart all services, the icon doesn't return to green.

Does anybody know what I need to do to get Virtual Hosts working on my D: drive? Thanks.

Answer 1

Believe it or not, it looks like all I had to do was put quotes around the directory path:

<Directory "D:\Path\To\My\Directory">
    Order Deny,Allow  
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I have no earthly idea why that fixes this problem, but I'll take it.

Answer 2

Use D:\ inside your DocumentRoot:

<VirtualHost *:80>   
  DocumentRoot "D:\Users\Kristen\Documents\Projects\My Site" 
  ServerName mysite.local
</VirtualHost>

To find out why WAMP cannot restart, have a look at error.log inside the Apache folder.
