Changing DocumentRoot for localhost only

michalp

I want to change the DocumentRoot only for "localhost".
Backstory: In LAN domain it.example.com pointing to my PC. I want to share under that domain one of my project from /laragon/www/ directory. By default under localhost Laragon shows /laragon/www content. How can i serve /laragon/www/example?

@michalp : You can change the setting in Menu > Laragon > Preferences

I know, but this way, all my new projects will be created inside that directory. I have many projects and want to share in LAN only one of them. Ngrok is not an option becouse of bad performance. I thought that easiest way to share my local application in LAN is to point domain to my ip and set DocumentRoot to directory that I want to share. Also it would be nice to have an option to change it easily.

@michalp : Ah, I see. There is also a topic like yours:
https://forum.laragon.org/topic/1127/how-to-use-proper-dir-and-virtual-hosts/9

Let me check and get back to you soon.

I tried something like this (00-default.conf file):

AFTER:

define ROOT "C:/laragon/www/example/public/"
define SITE "it.example.pl"

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
    DocumentRoot "${ROOT}"
    ServerName ${SITE}
    ServerAlias *.${SITE}
    <Directory "${ROOT}">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

BEFORE:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
    <Directory "C:/laragon/www/">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Looks like it works, but let me know if this is not a proper way to do this.

@michalp : I'm glad to see you could make it. However, the 00-default.conf file may be re-generate. You should copy the content to a different file such as example.conf.
