the drive isn't mounted? I have Apache running on my PC. There are several virtual hosts configured in httpd.conf, and for many of them, their document roots are on a flash drive. There are a few, though, whose document roots are on the main drive, and I should be able to use those hosts even if the flash drive isn't mounted. The problem is, if the flash drive isn't mounted, Apache refuses to start up. It's like Apache wants it to be all or nothing: either all the virtual hosts point to valid document roots, or none of them do. Any way around it? It's annoying having to plug in the flash drive just so I can run a PHP script on my main drive.
