Comments on: Virtual Directory in WAMP using Symbolic Link

In the ‘alias’ directory under wamp, create a file with the aliasname.conf. In that file write following code ::

Alias /aliasname “absolute path of your project/”

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

OR instead of doing all these things, just create copy of phpmyadmin.conf file in alias directory, rename the file to desired alias, edit the renamed file and reset the alias name and directory path.

Restart the WAMP-Apache and it’s done.

Naresh

mklink command is not found in Windows XP but it is there in Windows Vista. We need to use alias instead of softlink in Windows XP.

We can create virtual directory using another way ::

Right click on the taskbar icon of wamp.
Go to Alias Directories menu.
Click on add alias option.
Enter the name of the virtual directory.
Enter the directory path of actual directory.
