you can do this:
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
...
Alias <path-relative to your domain root> <absolute path on your system>
# for example:
# Alias /matt /home/mbaluyos/public_html/
# http://localhost/matt will now map to /home/mbaluyos/public_html
...
</IfModule>
then restart your httpd (service httpd restart)
or, you can also use symlinks by doing something like:
ln -sf /home/mbaluyos/public_html /var/www/html/matt
which does the same thing as above. note that in the second example, symlinks
can be disabled by your sysad by changing the FollowSymLinks option in the
apache configuration (your symlinks would then not work). more importantly,
it's a lot less secure because anyone can link to important files and read
them via their browser.
