Multiple Drive access

Drives

[esketcher]

Hi I have Apache 2.54 running on my main server and it has 5 hard drives 2
of which are being used by apache but I would like to know how to use the
other 3 so that I can set up one of the many sites that I am running on the
same two drives.

I couldn't find anything on the web for this and don't really know if it is
possible but I am pretty sure that it can be handled.
anyone know how to do this please Help?.

The System I am using is a Compaq Prosignia 5000 running windows NT Server

Ok this doesn't seem to apply to what I want to do
unless I run several versions of apache on the one system.

I have read everything in that thread.

what is explained there is all on one system drive tells me how to get my htdocs dirs on another drive but doesn't explain how to use more than one drive. perhaps a few examples would help.

what I have is 5 drives in one system
c: is for Dos operations
d: is the operating system where apache is installed and the CGI's
e: is the HTDOCS
g: is empty want to change parts of htdocs to run other http's
h: is empty want to change parts of htdocs to run other http's
i: is empty want to change parts of htdocs to run other http's

as you can see in my signature the areas
what i want to do is move some of them to separate drives

ie:
trains to G:
valleypass to H:
downloads to I:

Well I run Linux.

I don't know if this would work with Windows.

If you mount your drives and use name-based virtual hosting I think you can have a seperate DocumentRoot for each virtual host, declared in the <VirtualHost> container.

Then use virtual hosting to map requests for specific sites to the sub-dirs of those unused drives.

You should be able to have each site in a sub-directory of the mounted drives.
