[users@httpd] Configuring Namebased Virtual Host.
Hello all,
I know this is probably not the right place for this question, but please pardon me.
I see that one can use namevirtualhost to host multiple sites with one IP address. I need to know that by using PHP with Apache, is there any editing necessary with the PHP.ini file?
I see that php.ini has a line that references the DOCUMENT ROOT, but if one is using namevirtualhost, how does the entry in php.ini for the docroot affect the different sites? Or should that parameter be left without any entry?
Thanks
ola_one

Hello O-One, you should configure it exactly like I've suggested.
Right now I'm writing this answer from the server with 17 Vhosts, but
to configure your php you need do exactly this in your PHP.INI (not in
httpd.conf!!!!!):
doc_root = "C:/apache/apache2/htdocs"
user_dir = "C:/apache/apache2/htdocs"
By default these variables are empty or you can find something like
doc_root = "C:\Program Files\PHP..."... You should replace this with
real document root of your server and if you want also you can
configure user_directory (which is the same in this case)
Warning! Your configuration for httpd.conf is invalid. You can
configure your document root in HTTPD.CONF
just once in Main server configuration EXACTLY like this(BTW, it
should be configured during installation):
DocumentRoot "C:/apache/apache2/htdocs" (not doc_root!)
'doc_root' or 'user_dir' doesnt exists for Apache, you are configuring
these variables just for PHP.

Hello again, somehow I got confused with the answer you just gave me. If I am running/hosting one website, my configuration would be as you suggested but I am going to run more than 1 site.
The following is what will be in each virtual host container for documentroot. But what will be in PHP.ini for doc_root since there is more than one site?
Site 1:
httpd.conf
doc_root = "C:/apache/apache2/htdocs/Site_1/publi_html"
Site 2:
httpd.conf
doc_root = "C:/apache/apache2/htdocs/Site_2/publi_html"
php.ini
doc_root =
I know that when using NameVirtualHost, Apache will get the directives from the VirtualHost container, which is okay for me. The confusion is the php.ini
Thanks again.

I have seven virtual hosts in sub-folders of my Document Root,
two folders is for jsp and servlet projects served by Tomcat 5.0.24 or
JBoss 3.2.5(depends from project), three folders with sites
in development stage written on PHP and some experimental Vhosts. All
works just fine with php 4, MySQL, Geomatica WebServer etc.
