Hi guys

Just discovered AMPPS after a recommendation. Currently a MAMP Pro user (Mac) and have a significant number of sites in a folder called username/Sites/

When I try to change change the default document root folder from Ampps/www folder
I get a 403 error

Is it possible to change this root directory?

Hi,

This issue can be resolved by following the below steps:

-> First stop the Apache & MySQL services from the AMPPS Control Center

-> Now rename Ampps/www directory to another name (here we are renaming the same to _www)
Code
cd /Applications/AMPPS

Code
mv www _www


-> Now create Symbolic link of your root directory inside Ampps Directory.
Code
ln -s  /path/to/username/Sites /Applications/AMPPS/www


-> Start Apache and MySQL services from AMPPS Control Panel

-> Import the MySQL databases from MAMP to AMPPS.

Now you should be able to access your websites from localhost/website_name.

If you still face the issue, please open a support ticket here:

Hope this helps.
