Apache - Virtual Directory

[roda]

Hi,

So far, I worked with IIS. So I can map network drive and create a virtual directory from the maped drive.

Now, I have moved to Apache, but I don't know if Apache can do the same thing. Can anyone tell me? If can, how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Yes apache can do the same thing, Here is some documentation that might be very helpful:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html

DK,

Now, I have got a litle bit understanding about virtual host.
I created a port-based virtual host as below, and it is working fine.

Listen 8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName graph.3tel.com.kh
DocumentRoot "C:/Temp"
</VirtualHost>

Note: C: is local hard drive.

But when I changed DocumentRoot to "Z:/Temp" where Z: is a maped drive, it was not working. And I got the following error message:

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did I miss any configuration? Or anything wrong? Please help.

Kind Regards,

DocumentRoot "Z:\Temp"

Virtual Host in apache is making one apache server appear to run two or more webservers on one serer.
