As my knowledge about apache is minimal. I'd like to let it grow so I'd have more experience with LAMP. My hot question for today is:

How to add custom directory to webserver? (e.g. phpmyadmin)?

My goal is to be able to create custom addresses with custom websites within. Let's suppose that I have my custom directory at: /media/my/web/portal1 and I'd like to load it when client calls

http://localhost/myportal1 at webbrowser.

Could you give me a list of steps with few words of explanation?

Edit your Apache config file and add an Alias Directive. For example, let's use the default file.

sudo -e /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

Make your alias by adding a section within the VirtualHost directive:

Alias /database/ "/usr/share/php5/phpmyadmin/"

<Directory "/usr/share/php5/phpmyadmin/">

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

    # New directive needed in Apache 2.4.3: 

    Require all granted

</Directory>

Save and restart: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Or for the other reference:

sudo -e /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

And the contents...

Alias /myportal1/ "/media/my/web/portal1/"

<Directory "/media/my/web/portal1/">

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

    # New directive needed in Apache 2.4.3: 

    Require all granted

</Directory>

Save and restart: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Add more directives within the Directory directives, such as

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#directory

That what you were after?
