Thanks again. <Location /js> would be fine but how do I then associate /js with somewhere in the filesystem? I kept the Alias and <Directory> directives too, but no go. I am confused about why <Location /> slurps everything in if it is indeed resolved last as the documentation states. Why is the Alias + <Directory> not being seen and invoked first? -- Aaron Dalton | Super Duper Games aaron@xxxxxxxxxx | http://superdupergames.org
