[users@httpd] how to allow access to a dir other than document root
Hello,
My document root directory is set to "d:/www". However, the files that I
have planned to make available for download from my site, are on another
computer: \\p600\d\ftp_site and its subdirectories below it.
With what directives and in which place in httpd.conf do I instruct apache
to allow access to the ...\ftp_site directory as well as to my document
root?
Regards,
Paul.

Ooo and then you can go to your web address with /ftp/ at the end and it
will show the content of the directory. Ex. www.test1.com/ftp/

Hi Paul,
Use as follow:
1. change the user "localsystem" that the Apache is logging up with to
the user name that has the permissions on the network computer \\p600
(if you don't have a user on your local machine - create one)
2. create a directory alias on your server:
Alias /ftp/ "\\p600\ftp_site" - I'm not sure it will work, but try, if
not you'll have to map the share as a local drive and use for ex.:)
Alias /ftp/ "g:/"
3. Set the appropriate permissions.
<Directory "\\p600\ftp_site" (or) "g:/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Or whatever you'ld like to define on it..
Good luck,
Jeff Cohen
