Re: setting up mirror not in documentroot

Hello Shaun and Marc,

-----Original Message----- From: Shaun Ewing [mailto:s.ewing@aussiehq.com.au] You might be able to setup an internal PHP mirror using that method. You won't be able to setup an official PHP mirror though, as that requires a virtualhost.

Hello Shaun and Rudy, For the record: A dedicated or virtual private server will also work for a mirror no virtualhost is needed in this case (depending on the webserver you use and how it is configured). If you use Apache 2 and have root access but just don't understand the virtualhost options: just ask and I will give you a config that is ready to be used.

Each php file on the mirror has e.e. include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/include/shared-manual.inc'; My DocumentRoot points to /var/www. But the mirror is located in /home/rgevaert/WWW/php/ I can't find a way to override the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] unless I - change the apache config (unfortunately not an option) - change each php page of the mirror, and that will break my rsync update. I can understand that the PHP website is not build for my situation, :), but I would appreciate any help, of you know how I can change this.
