Make something public

Stacy

Hi.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for how to make the contents of

/home/downloads

availliable via http.

So that if someone would go to

bob.com/downloads

and it would show me everything inside the folder /home/downloads

The OS is Centos 6 64 bit

Which webserver are you using?

apache (yum install httpd -y)

perennate

If you already have web root directory serving bob.com/, then you could symlink it (ln -s /home/downloads /var/www/downloads)

Just add this to your httpd.conf file and restart apache

Alias /downloads /home/downloads

I don't use Apache but that should work.
