i read this just as i was wondering how to serve some files from a directory
outside /var/www/html/
i have the following entries in my commonhttpd.conf:
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /path/to/files>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
also, there is a symlink in /var/www/html that points to /path/to/files, i'm
still missing something, as i get 'you don't have permission' errors,
am i right in thinkng that the 'followsymlinks' in the second <directory>
section does not refer to the the symlink to /path/to/files but to symlinks
'within' there? i.e. it's superfluous here?
does the '-' before 'Indexes' in the first section apply to all the options
or just 'Indexes'?
the permissions of /path/to/files are 0755 so whatever user httpd runs as
should be able to see them yes?
do i have to restart httpd in a special way, i'm just 'killall httpd' and
then 'httpd' ?
