Hi,
I’m new to bitnami and I need some help with changing the alias in a WAMP installation. I need to change the alias in one of the applications. Now I have it localhost/joomla and I wanted to change it to localhost/mywebsite. I was able to to this before by modifyng the joomla.conf file but now that I have more than one application with only one WAMP I can’t do it.
I’ll appreciate any help you can give on this. Thanks

Hi xeneixe,

You should be able to do it by modifying ‘joomla.conf’ file, as you point. Also, you’ll need to change the local site (located at apache2/htdocs) so that the link to Joomla! still works.

Cheers

OOOPPS….. don’t know if this is related but now after changing the alias htdocs and joomla.conf my installation of dokuwiki is not working. I get a HTTP 403 Forbidden error.

I changed joomla.conf from
alias /joomla/ to alias /mywebsite/
and the hdocts/applications.html ( and the link works fine)

I solved the problem by reinstalling the dokuwiki stack on top of the other installation.

Thanks for your assistance
