How do I serve a directory on my site?
mdk 9.2 Apache2
I feel dumb, but the need never came up before.

assuming already did urpmi apache2?
Thanks Ed. Site is up. Host aeis.tv and virtual host
elevatorservice.us.
Question, more specifically.......
I have files that I need to make available to others. I
have been pointing to them from the .html pages, but it
would be easier, especially on the temp stuff, to allow
anyone to access a directory on the server and get them.
I'm sure that sounds too simple for a question, since
everyone but me does it routinely, but ... oh well.

Something like http://clyde.aeis.tv/pictures gives 'em a
directory from whence to download pictures like
"clyde1.jpg"
I get a 404 error on http://clyde.aeis.tv/pictures, which tells me you
have not set up a folder named pictures or a file named pictures under
/var/www/html/.
you may want a "gallery" software to set up your photos kind of like
http://ed-tharp.is-a-geek.org/job/
or do you want a listing of files like in
http://ed-tharp.is-a-geek.org/3/
Exactly like the second example. I know how to use the
'gallery', but can't seem to point to a directory.
you need to allow indexes or fancy indexes in the config file that
covers that folder/url address.
there is no question it should only be done on a per directory basis, as
it opens a security hole.
you should always check the configuration that the "parent directory"
".." choice does not permit going up into a folder you don't want folks
transversing into...
<Directory /var/www/html/3>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
on my install, would allow every folder including and below
/var/www/html/3 to create it's index page 'on the fly' as long as there
is NOT an index.xxx with xxx being any of a bunch of possible filename
extensions pages like htm, html, php, asp. having an index page means
the index page gets served up first.
