Apache Alias Isn't In Directory Listing
- by Phunt
I've got a site running on my home server that's just a front end for me to grab files remotely. There's no pages, just a directory listing (Options Indexes...). I wanted to add a link to a directory outside of the webroot so I made an alias. After a minute of dealing with permissions, I can now navigate to the directory by typing the URL into the browser, but the directory isn't listed in the root index. Is there a way to do this without creating a symlink in the root?
Server: Ubuntu 11.04, Apache 2.2.19
Relevant vhost:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName some.url.net
DocumentRoot "/var/www/some.url.net"
<Directory /var/www/some.url.net>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
AuthType Basic
AuthName "TPS Reports"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/passwd/some.url.net
Require user user1 user2
</Directory>
Alias /some_alias "/media/usb_drive/extra files"
<Directory "/media/usb_drive/extra files">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
