[users@httpd] Virtual Directories
Hi, ive just recently taken the plunge from IIS to apache 2.2. The issue i
have is that in IIS you're able to create "Virtual Directories" that is
directories that don't exist within that site but can be included from
outside, i often do this with a common folder that holds all my scripts so
that any updates made to one script are passed throughout the sites. I was
wondering if apache has a function like Virtual Directories, as ive not been
able to find any info on it
thanks for your time
will

That's fairly common practice with Apache too: for example, hosting
companies may offer a /cgi-bin/ for all users containing widely-used
scripts.
More generally, you're probably looking for the Alias directive.
