Setting Up Apache Server Mappings For HomeSite
 By Debbie Campbell
This information was gleaned from a number of websites and my own trials in getting this to work, but I thought it would be useful to have it in one place for other HomeSite users who may not be overly familiar with server configuration.
Macromedia's HomeSite is a great text-based HTML editor; I've been using it for about 10 years. Think of HomeSite as Dreamweaver's code-focused younger brother.
Why map servers? The reason I do it is because it enables me to browse and view PHP includes live right on my local machine. You can see the results of server side includes without having to post the site online, a big time saver.
Part 1 - Setting up Mappings in the Web Server
First, get the latest stable installation of Apache Server. The one I use is from XAMPP (www.xampp.com) and is quite easy to set up. Install it according to the instructions. XAMPP's installation also includes MySQL, phpMyAdmin, a FileZilla server and a number of other useful tools.
Go into the install directory and look for this file:
C:/Program Files/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Open it in Windows Notepad or any simple text editor. Scroll down about halfway until you see this section:
#
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
# Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
#
# If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. You will also likely
# need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
# the filesystem path.
Immediately after the last line shown above, you'll need to enter the following block of information (assuming your web files are located in a folder called "webprojects"):
Alias /webprojects/ "C:/webprojects/"
<Directory "C:/webprojects">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias "maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot." In turn, the next section "allows access to the filesystem path." If you want more information on the directives used within this section, visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options.
