On my own servers, I have a standard templated configuration that can't really include site-specific directives. So although I have the package installed, I can't add Alias directives to Apache's configuration file. Instead I (and my users) use symlinks, but having to have an extra symlink + RewriteRule for the FCKeditor files is inconvenient. If /usr/share/moin/htdocs/applets/FCKeditor was a symlink to /usr/share/fckeditor then this would not be necessary. :) -- Sam Morris https://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
