Did you restart the web server with service httpd restart? What does service httpd configtest say?
Yes, http://schoolserver.asilong.org/public should be right, though the shorter form worked for me as well. http://schoolserver/library/public should not work because of the Alias statement. Are you on XS 0.6? Have you looked for errors in the web server logs in /var/log/httpd? Are the permissions on /library/public the same as /library/xs-activity-server and those on xs-library-public.conf the same as xs-activity-server.conf? Can you paste the contents of xs-library-public.conf into an email. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andra DuPont" <andradup...@gmail.com> To: "Tim Moody" <timmo...@sympatico.ca> Cc: <server-devel@lists.laptop.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 3:08 PM Subject: Re: [Server-devel] Public folders Tim, I am also looking for a way to have a digital library of .pdf files etc. that can be accessed by any XO on an XS server. I have tried the approach you outlined, but when I use Browse to go to http://schoolserver/public it is not found. The server responds: The requested URL /public was not found on this server. My server domain is asilong.org, so my actual URL is http://schoolserver.asilong.org/public (this is as it should be.... right?) I have tried going to schoolserver/library/public but it is not found either. In terminal, I can go to the directory /library/public and my documents are in the directory. I doubled checked the xs-library-public.conf file in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory for typos but couldn't find any. Any guess as to why I can't get to the files from Browse?
