[users@httpd] Set multiple DocumentRoot
Hi,
I need to set DocumentRoot to two directories, one for development and
one for testing. But the server has only one IP address, and there is
no DNS. Is it possible? If so, please give an example.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
j

Apache may be prevented from directly accessing /tmp by another security
layer such as SELinux or AppArmor. Having /tmp as a DcoumentRoot is
almost never a good idea, so why not make your second DocumentRoot
/var/www/html2 for example?
Also, you don't need those NameVirtualHost directives because as you
stated in the original post you are not using name-based virtual
hosting.

Thanks for all responses.
I've tried first suggestion to use 80 and 8080 as following set up:
Listen 8080
Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName 192.168.1.101
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 192.168.1.101
DocumentRoot /tmp
</VirtualHost>
The 8080 works, but 80 got an error of "Permission denied: file
permissions deny server access: /tmp/index.html". I don't see any
permission problems:
[tmp]$ ls -l index.html
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 apache apache 27 Oct 28 15:48 index.html

Use different ports. You can set up two virtual hosts, eg. one on port 80
for testing and one on port 8080 for development.

You can use multiple virtualhosts on one IP address by creating the
directories:
/var/www/html/prod.example.com
/var/www/html/dev.example.com
And configuring your http.conf file with:
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/%0
You can add the two hosts to your /etc/hosts file to make them resolve
properly from your machine, if you can't update DNS.
Example: /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
123.123.123.123 dev.example.com dev
123.123.123.123 prod.example.com prod
