Switch from location to virtual host
By dnaworks , Section Help! [] Posted on Mon Jul 14, 2003 at 12:00:00 PM PST

This isn't really a bug but I had a question. Has anyone here switched from a location-based install to a virtual host (well, virtual host = 'www') w/o a complete reinstall?

I don't really want to do a reinstall if I can at all help it but I'd like my scoop site to now be the top level directory. I think I can fiddle w/ the httpd-<name>.conf file to get this but I am not what to do after reading the docs.
Anyone have any suggestions? (rtfm is fine as long as you point out where in fm I missed this ... <grin> )

Stop apache.
Switch all your data from the httpd-location.conf config file to the httpd-vhost.conf one; make sure your cookie host and all the other variables are correct for the new site setup.
Go into the database and issue the following command:
mysql> UPDATE vars SET value="" WHERE name="rootdir";
Start apache.

This will 1) tell apache you're using a virtual host; and 2) tell Scoop it's not in a directory anymore

That should be all that's required. If you're moving to a different URL, you'll obviously have to update your cookie_host variable in httpd-vhost.conf and the site_url variable under Site Controls.
