That would be my preferred solution as well.
Or simply specify the file as default-document for the site/folder with
DirectoryIndex?
I never use "Options Indexes" !!! I don't want to allow directory
browsing, unless needed in special
cases. For security reasons.
By why would you want to do it this way to begin with? It is not common
to have a pdf-file as default
document. You will only have problems with it, and confused users. And
you can't specify HTML meta
headers such as title, keywords, author and so on.
Just some thoughts:
When you send non-html content to users, the response header
Content-Type is used by the client
to determine what to do with it, in this case "Content-Type:
application/pdf". Apache uses the filename
suffix to determine mime-type, as specified in /etc/mime.types in linux.
Will apache return the correct
Content-Type header when the requested resource is a folder? Just a
thought.... Otherwise the browser
will get really confused.

*Betreff:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] virtualhost with file
Hello
Im wondering if its possible to specify a file in the DocumentRoot?
For example:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.otherdomain.tld
DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain/myfile.pdf
</VirtualHost>
So if I have a pdf located here:
http://mysite.com/mypdf.pdf
and i want it accessible:
http://mysite.com/myguide/
I know it will require adobe plugin for the user...
If not, is there some way of doing it?
Thanks
Eoghan
