Glad you figured it out; I'm sure you're right. Not sure where I got the extra / or why it worked on my server. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andra DuPont To: Tim Moody Cc: XS Devel Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 11:05 AM Subject: 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>
