 A couple of weeks ago, I’ve post a series of tutorials on How To Install Your Own Web Server on Windows with Apache, PHP and MySQL. Today I’m going to sort of pick up where these tutorials left by introducing you to Apache’s Directory Aliases.
While it may not be necessary for you to read all the previous posts, they may provide you with a better understanding of Apache’s HTTPD Server.
An Introduction To Apache’s Alias Directive
From Apache’s HTTPD Server perspective, a directory alias allows documents to be stored in the local filesystem other than under the DocumentRoot. This is set using the Alias directive. So for example, you could have the following directory structure:
- c:\www\mywebsite - The document root of your website
- c:\downloads - Contains downloadable files
In this case, the content of c:\www\mywebsite will automatically be published on the web as it is your website’s root folder by default (ie.: http://mywebsite/). On the other hand, c:\downloads will not be available as it sits outside of c:\www\mywebsite.

 The Green Web Hosting leader, HostPapa, have recently entered the UK market as we have learned in this interview.
I think this is a great thing since Green Web Hosting isn’t as much competitive in the UK market. HostPapa’s UK branch should bring some attention on this new and easy way to participate to the environmental challenge.
I have just posted my HostPapa UK Review up for reading. While I only have an account with HostPapa.com, I can say their support is great and you get lots of features for the price.
So I invite you to try out HostPapa.co.uk and post your HostPapa UK user review. There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee anyway so it’s really worth trying it out.
Click here to visit HostPapa.co.uk, I am waiting for your comments!
P.S. Enter your website URL when you leave a review, I’m always interested to see your work!
