[users@httpd] Is this an Apache config problem?
Hi Folks:
This one has me stumped...
My OS is RH9 running Apache 2.0.40. I have a one page web file,
index.html, located in /var/www/html, with the following line in it:
...
</FONT></P>
This is a test...<a href="http://xx.xx.xx.xx/var/www/html/my_file.pdf"
>get it here</a>
<P align=left>
........
xx.xx.xx.xx is the machines IP address...the machine is connected to a
router that is configured to pass http requests on port 80.
The httpd.config file root directory is set up correctly (/var/www/html)
and is set to listen on my IP:port address.
The system serves up the page just fine, but when I click on the 'get it
here' link, I get:
Object not found...blah, blah blah...Error 404.
I have tried various versions of the line (.i.e. ftp://, file=, etc.),
and multiple browsers, with the same response.
Apache is installed with minimal changes to html.config. I have check
access privildges on the directories and they seem fine. Any
Suggestions on how to make this work?
Thanks for any help/suggestions...
John

Apache serves files starting at the DocumentRoot. So if your
DocumentRoot is, for example, set to /var/www/html, then you want your
link to look like <a href="http://yoursite.example.com/my_file.pdf">

Have you tried adding pdf with AddType in your apache conf?
something like
AddType application/pdf ?
