Re: [Server-devel] Public folders
Tim, Here is an explanation of what happened. With your original syntax, Alias will replace /public/ with /library/public browsing to http://schoolserver/public' would not have invoked the Alias. I would have to type http://schoolserver/public/; Which would invoke the alias and take me to /library/public Because I was not invoking the Alias, I was still going to /var/www/html/public which did not exist. Once I created it, I could go there and see the index of the items I placed in it, but I couldn't access them because clicking on a file link would invoke the Alias which replaced /public/ with /public so I was getting.../publicfile.pdf which of course is wrong. The proper format is: Alias /public /library/public Directory /library/public Order allow,deny Allow from all Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None /Directory On Apr 6, 2010, at 7:10 PM, Tim Moody wrote: The standard apache config file, httpd.conf in /etc/httpd/conf, or in our case the file httpd-xs.conf, sets the base location as DocumentRoot /var/www/html. So you don't actually need an Alias or directory directive to get to /var/www/html/public via http://schoolserver/library/public. Alias /public/ overrides that. Note that David also has his files in /library/Schools-Wikipedia, the reason being that the stock xs install doesn't allocate much space to the root partition where /var/www/html is found. It puts library on a separate volume with most of the disk there, so you will run out of space in /var/www/html fairly quickly. It sounds to me like your Alias and Directory directives are not doing anything. Perhaps the file is not getting loaded.

Re: [Server-devel] Public folders
David, Thanks for the response. What you have working is great. I'm sure you're right... I probably just have a typo somewhere. I am still checking. I should also mention that I am running web caching from a program called wwwoffle. It caches all external activity and serves it up well even when there is no internet service, which squid does not handle well. wwwoffle does not seem to bother moodle, so I wouldn't think it is the problem. My http-port is set to 3128 just like squid uses. I'll keep plugging away and find out what is wrong soon. The info from Tim is very helpful.

I want the choice to use Moodle or to be able to browse public folders of HTML content. Previously I did this by adding a file html.conf to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and then having a link to those folders on the previous default Moodle page who.php What would be the best way to do this with 0.6? At the moment none of the content we had been using before is accessible because the server locks one into a Moodle course-centric approach. What if you just want to browse content? Secondly, if I create a course, can I create different formats such as weekly, scorm and so on? If I want to access my html content from a Moodle course approach, how do I add a link to it from the Moodle course (as course creator)? Should I be seeing a full range of normal Moodle edit functions/ David Leeming Solomon Islands Rural Link Leeming International Consulting P.O.
