Hi There
I need to create another location where i can call flash files but it cannot reside in the document root. Do i need to create an alias or something similar for this to work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and i am new to apache and have found this site to be a great asset to my steep learning curve.

Yes you can create an alias. A great alias example you can find inside your httpd.conf for the icons folder.

if you still have a question please ask again.

Hello damianco this is my directory config for an example.first in your windows registry use multi string named directory and put all your directory
paths.her is my http.config for example


Code:
<Directory "c:/server/htdocs/">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   
    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None FileInfo Options

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
   

<Directory "E:/server/htdocs/Edrive/">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #

Alias
#
# Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
# access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
# Example:
# Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
Alias /music "E:/server/htdocs/Edrive/music"
Alias /support_center "E:/server/htdocs/Edrive/support_center"
Alias /forums "E:/server/htdocs/Edrive/forums"
Alias /sales_advertising "E:/server/htdocs/Edrive/sales_advertising"
