A picture named crush.gifWhat a mess, but it has a happy ending. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I now have an Apache sub-folder of my Dropbox folder that contains sub-folders whose names are domains. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

When I create a new folder and point that domain at the machine running Apache, it automatically is configured to host that domain out of that folder. And I can copy files into that folder from any of my machines on my Dropbox network. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I was finally able to create a NTFS junction using an Explorer add-in that Samir Talwar gave me a pointer to. Bravo Samir! Permanent link to this item in the archive.
