Linking to another folder on computer?


Okay, well I'm just starting to use Apache (damn IIS doesn't really work that well anymore ), and I just have one question.

I have my root set up as D:/Web Server, and I have an index.html in there. Now, I want to link to another folder on my computer (D:/My Documents/My Music) in the html file, but I have no clue what I need to do. I'd imagine I have to configure something in the httpd.conf file, but I've tried reading and understanding it, and well.. no luck

So any help is appreciated

Re: Linking to another folder on computer?


If you want to show the music folder on the web page, why don't you just make a link to it on the page? Something like
HTML Code:
<a href="D:/My Documents/My Music">Check out my massive music collection!</a>

Or are you trying to make an alias that links to your music folder but resides in the Apache directory?

Here's an example how you can use mod_alias for this.
