Alias directive controls this. If you have: Alias /icons "/opt/apache/icons/" then http://localhost/icons will work, but if you have: Alias /icons/ "opt/apache/icons/" then http://localhost/icons/ will be needed -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: http://linux.nf Admin: http://hunley.homeip.net Unix is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus. -- Peter H.
