Changing document root for an apache alias

[s0c0]

This might be better for the Apache forum, but I'll explain anyways.  I'm switching up my local dev environment so I can use SVN.  I have a directory for all my SVN stuff on my local machine now in /var/svn.  When I call $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] its listing the document root as /var/www.  For this alias I've setup in apache I want the document root to be /var/svn/myproject.  Alot of my includes are failing because of this now.

I fixed this by creating a new virtual host and telling apache to listen on a new port.

 

in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName 127.0.0.1
        DocumentRoot /var/svn/client
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

 

in /etc/apache2/ports.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:8080
Listen 80
Listen 8080
