apache 2.2.4 alias and two drives
|
|
|
| Hello,
I've got a problem that was given to me and i have no idea on solving
it. I've got an apache 2.2.4 win32 installation running just fine, locally.
The document root is set properly and it serves pages, on the c: drive.
There's an alias pointing to another drive in this case a directory on the
f: drive. Now locally that is on the machine with the server on it accessing
these aliased pages works fine, yet from the internet this does not work.
Any suggestions as to why?
Thanks.
Dave.

You could try adding the following to your conf file -
<Directory "F:/where-my-files-are/">
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

yes, phantom is right, you should use an alias but also override any
global config you have, so for example allow indexing if you have no
default index file.
Alias /music M:/mp3s
<Directory "M:/mp3s">
Options Indexes
Order Deny, Allow
</Directory>
this is just in case you have permitted 127.0.0.1 more rights than the
average IP, and so are seeing this locally which any other IP is
disallowed.

| Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I have an alias pointer pointing to this area
since it's outside the DocumentRoot, and then i have this:
<Directory "F:/where-my-files-are/">
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
As i said locally that is on that machine it works fine, but anything from
the internet doesn't.
Thanks.
Dave.

Do you have multiple virtual servers defined? Sounds like you might.
One for "localhost" and one for "PublicName.com" (where PublicName.com
is the domain name)...
