I was stuck in scenario where I had to inter-operate both Ubuntu and Windows.
Most of my PHP projects were in Ubuntu and some few in Windows. I found it difficult because if you want to switch to the other project, then you have to switch the OS.
To mitigate this, I created a folder which is a common one accessible from both OS. From Windows its a D drive and all I could do was edit some apache config and it loads the projects from this web root.
But in case of Ubuntu, there was the apache already with default /var/www

It did not like moving out of the document root to a different point that too along with php-fpm.
I badly needed this as I was running different projects based on 5.6. 7.1 and 7.2.
After hitting Google a large number of times, finally managed to get this work.
In order to help myself and anyone who needs this future, this is a little note.

- Setup virtual host in apache as similar to other ones
- Change the apache default user and group to your system user and group:
- https://www.simplified.guide/apache/change-user-and-group
- /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
- Change the php-fpm user and group similar to apache:
- /etc/php/7.1/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
- /etc/php/7.1/fpm/php-fpm.conf
- systemctl reload php7.1-fpm.service
- And finally the virtual host example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@kauripizzeria.test
ServerName kauripizzeria.test
ServerAlias kauripizzeria.test
