In httpd.conf I defined a virtual host like this : <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName myproject

In httpd.conf I defined a virtual host like this :

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName myproject
  DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/MyProject/www"
</VirtualHost>

Now I would like a script outside the www folder to be the startpoint of this website.

The script I want to run first is : C:/xampp/htdocs/MyProject/build.php , which then starts doing some work (copying stuff, generating cache, etc.) and then redirects to index.php in the www folder (using a header("location: ...") in PHP).

Is this possible?

UPDATE

This works (put inside VirtualHost) :

Alias /index.php "C:/xampp/htdocs/MyProject/build.php"

    Yes, absolutely.

    You can put the root anywhere you want – “DocumentRoot” does not need to be under www.

    You can put any other directory in any different physical location you want – just use the <Alias> directive:
