As this was the last message in the thread, I just wanted to take this moment and thank everyone who tried to help and let all those who subscribe to the list know that I have finally solved the problem I was trying for. After reading the following article, it made sense that I was trying to establish a second DocumentRoot and access as a separate server location when what I really wanted to do was serve a website from a location separate from /var/www/html being /srv/www. While not intentionally trying to escape sudo to my webdocs, the concept was parallel to my goal. After successfully establishing two separate VirtualHost documents, thus being able to establish two separate addresses the documents could be retrieved from, I was still unable to force feed from /srv/www. however, after creating a link: ln -sT /srv/www to /var/www/html/srv webdocs(/srv/www) -----> DocumentRoot(/var/www/html) -----> Browser This provided the results I was essentially looking for and as such, can move projects outside sudo and organize as desired. Such a simple fix once approached from a different perspective. :) http://askubuntu.com/questions/46331/how-to-avoid-using-sudo-when-working-in-var-www Thanks again to everyone who tried to help as each suggestion got me closer to the solution. ;P -- Scott DuBois President EBLUG BSIT Software Engineering Freenode: Roguehorse -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
