ive shyed away from apache 2.2 for a while now, due to configuration issues/differences. today, i setup a dedicated box to run 2.2, so i can learn the configuration differences between 2.2 and my 2.0 boxes, and hopefully i can recreate a dev version of my production 2.0 server, on a 2.2 box. the main hurdle that has kept me away, is the (my) obvious misuse of the <directory> directive. for instance, on 2.0, i would use this: <Directory /usr/local/share/directory> AllowOverride None Order Allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> and then, a coresponding: Alias /directory /usr/local/share/directory and this allows http://www.mydomain.com/directory to work correctly (or, at least 'as i expected'). in apache 2.2, getting this function to work has been confusing me for months! ive been googling for an example of correct use for this type of configuration, but so far, no joy. can someone point me in the right direction? the path imtrying to use is /usr/local/www/apache22/directory, with my DocumentRoot set to /usr/local/www/apache22/data (FreeBSD 6.1-p10). i would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me. thanks, jonathan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
