In IIS you were able to install the web server in windows and then create virtual directories anywhere, including a external drive. This way the location on the external drive (directory ) would act as a webserver location. You were able to execute scripts. I need this setup because I would like to work on web apps at home and at work and be able to just plug in my external drive and it would be part of the web server. Is there a way to do that with apache 2.0?
