Which? Not whole site, or not in /var/www/html? Without knowing what you really intend, this sounds like a symbolic link might be what you need: ln -s /mnt/windows/somepath /var/www/html/myfatdisk http://clickonline.net/myfatdisk/somefile This works with ext2; and I'm assuming it should work with FAT32 too... but, without "/somefile", you could get the error... see below. > what might be causing this ? The config file. There are various failure modes... For example, "Options -Indexes" or "Options <without Indexes>" will give you the above error if you try to get a directory listing; like when there is no default (index.*, etc) file therein. > anyone ?
