You could make a symbolic link (even on Windows) in order for .httdocs/appname
to refer to .htdocs/repository/appfoldername
(with option Options FollowSymLinks
set in the <Directory>
section of your Xampp httd.conf
file)
The OP alieninlondon reports:
I found another very easy way.
Simply by putting the repository directory in the.htdocs
folder and then accessing the app throughlocalhost/repositoryfolder/appfolder
in my webbrowser worked perfectly for me.
