[users@httpd] MacOs X: different partition as document root
Hello
I am working on a G3 with the MacOs 10.3.6 and I'm running
apache 1.3
I have two partitions on my disk; one with my operating
system and files I explicitely don't want to share
and another partition that ignores user permissions.
I would like to have the document root of my server on this
second partition, instead of the partition with the system.
I have been trying every possibility in the httpd.conf file
but it is not working. Everytime I change the document root
to a possible variant, I get an error.
Can someone point me to the right decision?
As MacOs X is built on a unix base, I think the answer will
be the same as the answer to this problem for any unix variant.

Well, I don't know much about Macs, but on Windows, to specify docroot
from the root of a drive, do this in the docroot statement (include
the quotes!)
"X:\the path\can include spaces\if you have\quotes around it"
That's how I do it on my Windows box, and since Mac works with drive
letters (I think, like I said, I don't know much about Macs) it should
work the same.

Again, if there are spaces in the directory it needs to be in Quotes

Well I would think it would be
/Volumes/Partition_Name/path_to_document_root. Try opening terminal
and navigating to your document root than pwd. You may need to check
permissions as well since I don't think apache will have permission
beyond it own Volume.
