You might look in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf and near the end you will probably find an example where Apache is being told it can serve up its own manual, like: <Directory /usr/share/doc> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks etc. </Directory> You could make an entry for your directory on /hdb1/mp3 and then put a symlink from your document root to that directory. I'd have to look at the Apache manual to decide what I wanted users to be able to do, but I think a symlink like: ln -s /hdb1/mp3 /var/www/html/index.html MIGHT do it. I haven't ever done it this way; I would make a simple page as index.html that would then refer them to your mp3 dir. I always spend a little time with the Apache manual before I mess with Apache settings, though ... remember a web server is always a security risk since it is available to the outside world. Note: you can also allow access by username and password if you want, but that's another story ;-) -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
