can we get separate document root ?

Hello list,

I am suffering with document root issue with my apache config . I have
placed a config like

```````````````

Alias /personal/joydeep /var/personal_work_area/joydeep



DirectoryIndex index.php



``````````

But realurl is not working here as rewrite rule always use /var/www as its document root. Is it possible to force the document root inside ?
Please let me know.

If your rewrite rules are in htaccess, are you specifying RewriteBase?

What is "not working"?

Thanks for your response. Here is the setup. I have placed a folder
called test at

/var/personal_work_area/joydeep

The test folder has alice.html and bob.html and the .htaccess is

````
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html
````

When i visit alice.html apache fires an error at log as

````
[error] [client 192.168.1.100] script '/var/www/index.php' not found or unable to stat
`````````````

It should look at /var/personal_work_area/joydeep but here it is looking at /var/www which is defined at the main httpd.conf as document root.

Eric, I have solved it :-) Thanks for showing me the right track
I have placed the follwing in .htaccess

````
RewriteBase /personal/joydeep/test
````

and now the rewriterule is working fine. By the way ; I am also trying
to make it working inside apache configuration.

Thanks once again
