I've installed Zend Server CE 5.1.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit in its default location, meaning the path to my htdocs is C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs. Not something that I would like to type each time I check out a project from SVN in Eclipse or something.
I'd like to set the DocumentRoot to a different folder, namely D:\www.
What I've done
I edited conf/httpd.conf, with the significant lines being:
DocumentRoot "D:\www"
<Directory "D:\www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I edited conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf to add a virtual host:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot D:\www
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
SetEnv APPLICATION_DOMAIN localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot D:\www\UmbraCMS
ServerName umbracms.local
ServerAlias umbracms.local
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
SetEnv APPLICATION_DOMAIN umbracms.local
</VirtualHost>
I edited C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to add this line:
127.0.0.1 umbracms.local
And I also added a PHP project to D:\www\UmbraCMS. And restarted Apache. Actually, I restarted the computer, too, just in case.
What's supposed to happen
After typing http://umbracms.local/ in the browser's address bar, I want to see my PHP project launch, obviously.
What's actually happening
No matter whether whether I type http://umbracms.local/ or http://localhost/, I'm taken to the test zend page, located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\index.html, as if neither DocumentRoot was changed nor name-based virtual hosting worked.
Interestingly, when I put another project in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\bugraid\ and then, in the browser, typed http://localhost/bugraid, the project actually opened, or at least tried to, as it completely ignored the project's .htaccess file.
Extra considerations
Zend Server's Apache version is 2.2.16, PHP version is 5.3.0
I've installed MySQL CE 5.5.13 separately, and it works, both from command line and via MySQL Workbench.
I have XAMPP installed, but none of its components are started up. It's got its own install of Apache 2.2.17 and MySQL 5.5.1. PHP version is 5.3.5 (I think).
Question
Have you had a similar situation before? What else might need taking care of in order to have Zend Server's Apache use D:\www as document root for my PHP projects?
