That file sets an alias of /mrtg to /var/www/mrtg The alias takes precedence over a symbolic link of the same name since the alias will prevent the request from even going to the DocumentRoot directory. This makes sense to me now... Thanks for the tip to check all the included conf files... :-) Don On Mon, 2003-11-17 at 18:12, Brian Dessent wrote: > Don wrote: > > > > Hi Brian...
