The error log has the answer. I put my public folder in /library but according to the error log, the server is going to /var/www/html/public This is where David Leeming has his. I don't know where the server gets told where the "base" or "home" location is for the schoolserver, but apparently it is set to /var/www/html for http requests. I'm learning.
So Tim, why does your server go to /library ??? I changed the conf file to: Alias /public/ "/var/www/html/public" <Directory /var/www/html/public> Works like a champ. > > Are the permissions on /library/public the same as > /library/xs-activity-server and those on xs-library-public.conf the same as > xs-activity-server.conf? > > Can you paste the contents of xs-library-public.conf into an email. > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andra DuPont" <andradup...@gmail.com> > To: "Tim Moody" <timmo...@sympatico.ca> > Cc: <server-devel@lists.laptop.org> > Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 3:08 PM > 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.
