Virtual directory

[ansonng]

Hi All,

I have asked this before but I still get no answer so I am asking again. If I have a folder in my c:\ drive, say c:\admin, how do I configure my tomcat to point to this folder if my website is store in d:\www? Is there anyway I can create a virtual directory in tomcat and how do I do that?

What I am trying to do is my website is hosted at

http://www.123.com,

and this is pointing to d:\www. I have an url,

http://www.123.com\admin,

which I want to redirect this to c:\admin, how do I accomplish this?

I've read the documnentation and I admit I am not smart enough still on how to solve this, so I would really appreciate someone out there can give me more help rather than a url to another tomcat documentation .

Thank you again

Use the alias directive. At least that is what it is called in apache, I'm unsure about tomcat.

The entry in apache looks something like this:

Alias /image /ftp/pub/image

See

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html

Thanks Freeeman, I read the url u gave and it seems to be what I am looking for. Just one silly question, where do I add this alias in? Is it in my conf file?

There are probly some alias entries already, do a text search for 'alias'. It may be within the directive <IfMod ?????alias????>. And yes it should be in your conf file.
