I am making the assumption that you are not versed in Apache. the current apache server software uses only the httpd.conf file. Older versions have three files: srm.conf, access.conf and httpd.conf.
I run apache 1.3.14 and it still has the three files broken out, so I am assuming that is how yours is. Either way, the directive is in the httpd.conf file edit this files and look for a line something like this: # Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is # Alias fakename realname The directive below allows you to alias the directories, in mine I have this for pipermail Alias /pipermail/ /opt/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory "/opt/mailman/archives/public/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> The directory directive defines how the access to the directory. Look at the manual for a more indepth explaination. Below this you should also find a ScriptAlias directive. This is how you alias your script directory Mine looks like this: ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/opt/mailman/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/opt/mailman/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> If you have any more questions let me know Erik van der Meulen wrote: > Dear List - this is a RTFM I know, but in case of Apache the FM is > hudge, so I hope somebody can pull this right out of the hat... > > My Mailman (1.1) documentation reads: > > Configure your Web server to point to the Pipermail public > mailing list archives: > For example, in Apache: > Alias /pipermail/ $prefix/archives/public/ > > My question is: in what file does this go, and where exactly? > I have access.conf and httpd.conf > > Other thing is that I would like to alias the name: > www.myhost.nl/cgi-bin/mailman to something a little > easier like www.myhost.nl/mailman.
