config access 1

[carlosv]

I don't understand. How do I allow access to a folder that, in html, would be ..\folder. I can't see my gifs in folder apache\images\image.gif referenced from apache\docRoot\index.html Isn't this accomplished with the <directory> directive...what gives?

It appears you want an ALIAS directive here...

You want to access a folder outside of your HTML Root...

so lets take:

/home/

http://www/html

as the HTML root
and
/opt/blah/folder as the folder you want to access

Alias /opt/blah/folder/ /folder/

this will allow

http://your.server.com/folder/

to access the contents of /opt/blah/folder

make sense now?
