Question

I have a one project being hosted in Apache under a specific subdomain:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName dev.example.com
    DocumentRoot /web/vhosts/dev.example.com
    <Directory />
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I want to serve another project under a subdirectory of this domain:

dev.example.com/special-project

Which lives in /web/vhosts/special-project. I also can’t simply create a symlink to this directory because of the way the original project is structured. It has to be configured using Apache only.

How do I configure Apache to be able to do this? Also, can this type of configuration be specified in a separate file, or does it have to be part of the original VirtualHost definition?

Answer 1

Use an Alias.

Alias /special-project/ /web/vhosts/special-project/
