Yes I enabled symlinking in apache, I forgot to include this in my original mail...
DocumentRoot "/blah blah blah/html" <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> Have no idea how to change mod_webapp to mod_jk(2). If this involves a lot of work, I will postpone till after Christmas : ) Are you suggesting that if I do, it will solve the problem of symlinks? Meanwhile I half-followed Johns advice... It seems that to work in Apache, I have to edit the links, instead to be 'relative' to the DocRoot, and then I don't need my Tomcat 'symlink' as an additional 'alias'. Needless to say, this means that now the gifs pages no longer resolve 'standalone' version, but for now this quick and dirty (in my mind) solution allows me to get on. Thanks to John, Ralph and Martin, for your feedback. Sarah --------------------------------- With Yahoo! Mail you can get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs
