Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Alias not working

Ok guys, the trailing slash has a meaning, and it's in the docs as well.

Alias /folder /home/folder - will point to http://website.com/folder +
http://website.com/folder/

Alias /folder/ /home/folder/ - will point only to =
http://website.com/folder/

Alias /folder /home/folder/ - will not point!

Alias /folder/ /home/folder - will point to the right folder but files =
are
not accessible, which means - not good. :)

All the best,
Jeff Cohen
