Open the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf), find the aliases section (which is defined by the
configuration tag), and add the following lines:
# ...
# Configure the tshirtshop alias
Alias /tshirtshop/ "C:/tshirtshop/"
Alias /tshirtshop "C:/tshirtshop"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
After adding these lines and restarting the Apache web server, a request for http://localhost/tshirtshop
or http://localhost/tshirtshop/ will load the application in the tshirtshop folder (once it exists).
3. Create a file named test.php in the tshirtshop folder, with the following line inside:
4. Restart the Apache web server (the easiest way to do this is by using the XAMPP Control Panel). Restarting
the server is necessary, because we??™ve made changes to the Apache configuration file.
5. Load http://localhost/tshirtshop/test.php (or http://localhost:8080/tshirtshop/test.php
if Apache works on port 8080) in a web browser.
CHAPTER 3 ?– STARTING THE TSHIRTSHOP PROJECT 35
Exercise: Preparing the tshirtshop Alias on Linux Systems
1. Create a new folder named tshirtshop, which will be used for all the work you??™ll do in this book. You
might find it easiest to create it in your home directory (in which case the complete path to your tshirtshop
folder will be something like /home/username/tshirtshop), but because we??™ll use relative paths in the
project, feel free to create it in any location.
