I use dropbox (file-sync service). in order for dropbox sync files, they must be its children [eg. somewhere under /home/jzacsh/Dropbox].
I want to now use it to keep my development files in sync across my machines: easy: just move my dev. files under dropbox catch:I want them to still be viewed as the localhost docs by the server. (fyi: running apache on macbook and linux desktop).
I wrote the below alias into my shell's login file (.bashrc on my linux machine, .profile on my mac) sidenote: maybe someone can tell me "for this much stuff - avoid aliases, you should be making them functions!"??? idk, it just looks messy I think [eg. servvar and servtmp aliases].
My solution
I placed these in my login script:
this is a snippet (lines 4-11) from the config file set as $serverConfig just above^
upon logging in, if I tried to run either "servtmp" or "servvar" I would get a permission denied error (understandably).
on a complete guess I did this (after making an "original-*" copy of the config file) idea was: in hopes it would give my login script proper permissions
that ^ resulted still in a "permissions" error, but even weirder looking
I checked, and those funky temporary files weren't there when I looked (looked using ls -la)
okey-dokey, that's it, any help would be GREATLY appreciated, i know this is a bit of a funky request.
This doesn't answer your 'My Solution' question, but I do something similar on a development machine. I use subversion to checkout from my code repository into /home/me/svn/site and create a symbolic link for apache to this location:
I know it doesn't answer your real question, but maybe this solution is easier. *shrug*
anyone fairly experienced with Apache??? Document Root Fiddling?

I actually considered using a link. I don't know why, but I just assumed that apache wouldn't play well with a link.

Well, this could be a work around. The only problem/reason its a work around and not a solution is because I actually have 24 GB of data inside my development folders on a couple computers. such a large development folder brings about two problems here:
my dropbox account doesn't have that much of storage (nor would I want it syncing that stuff anyway)
whenever running my login's "switch-server's-location" script, it would have to move the 24 GB of stuff out of /var/www just for the link to work.
I'll probably use link to redirect Apache just on a computer or two right now, but I'll still be searching for a more thorough solution. Thanks again, glen.barber, I appreciate the input.
Perhaps someone with a better understanding of Apache than me could explain to me "Apache's http root isn't meant to be fiddled with"? and such an undertaking isn't for the inexperienced?

Our Apache log files are written to a location on the server that we as clients have no access. Don't ask.
