Hello Krist, Thanks a lot to clarify it. I was banging my head with it. Is there any alternative to force document root in side <Directory> then ? Actually I need to run some experimental sites from a location which is totally different from main apache document root. And my rewritrules try to access /var/www as the document root where it should look into /var/personal_work_area/ Once again, thanks for your kind response -- জয়দীপ বক্সী --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
