Except that the sample you show doesn't conform to the requirements. You said that you have this: Alias /test1 /usr/mywebtest/
when what you would need to have is this: Alias /test1 /usr/mywebtest or perhaps this Alias /test1 "/usr/mywebtest" Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven C Peckham Sent: Friday, August 27, 2004 6:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Apache setup question Hi, My httpd.conf file has the comments too ... but it does not work. I expected that I had done something wrong, instead it seems that I need to upgrade the apache software. My thanks to all that responded, Steven.

The format is # Alias fakename realname # <IfModule mod_alias.c> # # Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will # require it to be present in the URL. So "/icons" isn't aliased in this # example, only "/icons/". If the fakename is slash-terminated, then the # realname must also be slash terminated, and if the fakename omits the # trailing slash, the realname must also omit it. # Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/" <Directory "/var/www/icons"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I just ran a test by changing Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/" to Alias /icons "/var/www/icons" and it worked for me, using Apache 1.3.31.

I'm a newbie to Linux (and networking). I got Linux (2.4.17) up (Debian GNU/Linux 3.0rev2) and am serving web pages with apache (1.3.26), but I've a irritation that I can not seem to figure out. I want the user to be able to come in with tcpipName-or-address/test1 Please note the lack of / at the end (it works fine if the final / is added). Is there any way to do this, and if so how? In httpd.conf I've got <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm </IfModule> Alias /test1 /usr/mywebtest/ <Directory /usr/mywebtest/> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> The first page is in /usr/mywebtest/default.htm I've tried an alias pointing directly to that (Alias /test1 /usr/mywebtest/default.htm ), but that seemed to make the base directory for all other pages, images, ... the root directory (not /usr/mywebtest like I wanted it to be).
