If you have a directory called movies under your document root, then the
URL should find it. Check you directory layout - for example, if you
have:

DocumentRoot /path/to/docroot

then your movies should be in /path/to/docroot/movies. Then
http://clickonline.net/movies will end up in that directory.

If you also have:

Options +Indexes

in the same VH, then the user should get a listing.

Rgds,

Owen Boyle.

PS - if not, post the error message in the log-file.

I think you need either VirtualHosts -
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/index.html or the "Alias" directive
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#alias

Read the docs first, then post back if there's anything that you don't
understand.

Options Indexes

either at server-config level or in the <Directory> container.
