I have installed apache and php on my xbox. What i was wondering after searching the forums is whether you can configure apache to share a folder other than one created in the rootfs file system. For example, a folder that is on the f drive with rootfs on the e drive

check your apache config files, it has the layout there it will go something like this


Alias /weburlfoldername/ "/mnt/fatx/f/folder/to/share"



<Directory "/mnt/fatx/f/folder/to/share">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

between the <Directory> directives you will set the options you want instead.

Other option would be to do a symbolic link (if your apache config files will follow them

ln -s /www/localhost/htdocs/webfoldername /mnt/fatx/f/folder/to/share

last option would be to mount the f: within your /www/localhost/htdocs folder

it would be something like

mkdir /www/localhost/hdocs/webfolder
mount -t fatx /dev/hda55 (or whatever it is) /www/localhost/htdocs/webfolder

something like that, im going on 3hrs sleep and 10hrs of work check my sig this should point you in some directions

thanks for the help, i'll definately try those steps you just outlined. I was putting the directory in the wrong location, the config file was getting messed up. thanks for clearing it up again
