I suggest ... 1> Remove the alias, put a random pdf file in the desired folder, and make the request below work properly. That will insure that you get the folder and server configured properly. --> http://<<yourserver>>/QNTC/SERVER1/datasheets/PDF/random.PDF
2> Then add the alias, and make the aliased request work --> http://<<yourserver>>/pdf/random.PDF 3> Then make the CGIDEV2-parsed request work. Gotchas ... -- I think that APACHE is case sensitive, at least some of the time. If I am wrong, someone will correct me! Check the PDF vs. pdf and QNTC vs. qntc -- security for the proper user - the QTMHHTP1 user needs to have permission. -- I think that the <directory> section is needed, even if alias is used. Alias tells it to change the request; it doesn't tell it that the request is necessarily allowed. <Directory /QNTC/SERVER1/datasheets/PDF/> Options None order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> Good luck.
