document root

[Jamie Kahgee <jamie.kahgee@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a simple server set up on my machine so I can work on multiple sites - each folder basically represents a site.

my problem is, I now have a new site where I want its document root to be different than what it currently is. ie: http://localhost/foo  should actually point to http://localhost/foo/public

I was using Alias /foo /path/to/foo/public/ and this almost seemed to solve my problems, but now when I include a resource like a style sheet or script in this new site w/out a full url (/css/main.css), it doesn't reference the resource in my site, but back to to my current document root - which I do understand why this happens.

All my old sites use a full URL to any resources, but I don't think this new one will have that so I need to see if I can make work w/out a full URL

I only have 1 site-enabled right now, which is the default when I set up my server.  A cut down version looks like this

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ...

  DocumentRoot /var/www/server

  ...

  <Directory /var/www/server/>

    ....

  </Directory>

  Alias /foo /var/www/server/foo/public/

  <Directory /var/www/server/foo/public>

    ...

  </Directory>

  ...

</VirtualHost>

I did try creating another virtual host file for my new site to see if that would work, but it didn't - My assumption was - it was thinking it was in the default site not my new one.

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong or point me in the right direction?

Hopefully I fully explained my problem and used the right terminology.

Thanks,
