hi there.
as a convenience for programming in both environments (well, not windows-back-to-linux, but...), if i can make [ /home/user-name ] work as an "extension of" /var/www/html/ ... then how can i make /mnt/windows/apache2/apache2/htdocs/ work in a similar fashion from here in Fedora Core 5?
thanks so much!
(i'm assuming it will work in much the same way as my "home" directory, but it's been a while since i've posted here, and it's always nice to hear some commentary from "those who know")
thank you very much for your help!

hi there. the following is what i was attempting to describe above.
it was pretty easy to achieve succuss. after a bit of trial and error, fine-tooth-comb examination of my existing
httpd.conf file ( /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf - Fedora Core 5), and cursory review of the docs for my specific server version (Apache 2.0), including the section which led me finally to the working version:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#directory
i came up w/ the following which works beautifully. It is my estimation that any Fedora Core / Linux user who seeks to "serve web site folders" from a "Slaved Windows Drive" might add the following to his or her httpd.conf file, restart the server, and thereafter enjoy the ability to view the "old" windows server files while working from Linux
| Code: | Alias /winroot/ "/mnt/windows/Apache2/Apache2/htdocs/"
<Directory "/mnt/windows/Apache2/Apache2/htdocs">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
NOTE the trailing slash is NOT used in the attribute of the <Directory> directive, but it should be consistent in the alias according to Apache documentation |
