Something like: Options FollowSymLinks is in the appropriate place. Otherwise, Apache will ignore symbolic links. - barry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I would like to make aliased directories in apache visible from the directory root. An example: When I visit http://myserver.com/, I would like to see the 'icons' folder (suppose that in my document root I have directories 'bobo' and 'gogo', but that /icons is actually an alias for /usr/local/share/icons). Bobo and gogo show up in the directoroy listing when I access http://myserver.com, but not /icons. How can I remedy this? add a symbolic link: ln -s /usr/local/share/icons [path to your doc root]/icons typically for apache22 this would be: ln -s /usr/local/share/icons /usr/local/www/apache22/data/icons -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I would like to make aliased directories in apache visible from the directory root. An example: When I visit http://myserver.com/, I would like to see the 'icons' folder (suppose that in my document root I have directories 'bobo' and 'gogo', but that /icons is actually an alias for /usr/local/share/icons). Bobo and gogo show up in the directoroy listing when I access http://myserver.com, but not /icons. How can I remedy this? Options Indexes for the icons area? Create a stub directory "icons" under your web-root? Don't use Aliases within apache, but create symlinks instead and tell Apache to FollowSymLinks? One or other of those should work...
