Change docroot using .htaccess??

[Mrtechno]

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if you could help me out with this one. I would like to edit the docroot path using the .htaccess file as I don't have admin rights on the web server and can't acces the httpd.conf file.

Any idea how this can be done?

Thanks.

Hi

If you are thinking to [tt]DocumentRoot[/tt], the documentation says clearly in what context is valid. In .htaccess is not.

I don't have admin rights on the web server and can't acces the httpd.conf file.

Maybe it is deliberately that way ?

There is no way you can make something like that work. When a request comes into apache, it resolves the request by matching the request with ServerName. If htaccess is enabled, it will read the .htaccess file in that vhost's DocumentRoot. The only thing you can do is redirect to another sub-directory under your root directory (DocumentRoot).
