Yes, I followed Tim's note and named my conf file xs-library-public.conf as I noted in my last email. I don't think the name of the conf file matters, as any .conf file placed in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory gets appended to the main configuration. > > Use nano or other text editer to create a file html.conf in > /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and add the below, with a new entry for each alias.

Do you mean the files in the /library/public directory should be availalble (that is what I was expecting, but as I mentioned, my browser can't find it.) I am wondering if I have to do something to tell the server where the starting level is, because it does not seem to be going to /library/public, but to some other directory. > > Alias /MyFolders /library/public > <Directory /library/public> > Order allow,deny > Allow from all > Options Indexes FollowSymLinks > AllowOverride None > </Directory> > > David Leeming > > > -----Original Message----- > From: server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org > [mailto:server-devel-boun...@lists.laptop.org] On Behalf Of Andra DuPont > Sent: Wednesday, 7 April 2010 6:09 a.m. > To: Tim Moody > Cc: server-devel@lists.laptop.org > Subject: Re: [Server-devel] Public folders > > Tim, > I am also looking for a way to have a digital library of .pdf files etc. > that can be accessed by any XO on an XS server.
