RE: http access to a dir on the web server

What errors are you seeing?
You need to make sure that the file system permissions are correct.

Subject: http access to a dir on the web server

If I have a dir, example, /home/some/dir/here

and that is where I have a mirror of rawhide that starts (that's the
base dir)...

I want to at least allow myself access to that dir via the web (already
have a main web page for my domain), so I can read the RPMs, headers,
etc...

I can't seem to find the right configuration to add to my httpd.conf
file, or the correct way to link that dir to my /var/www/html dir (which
would probably be easier and less configuring).

This is what I currently have in my httpd.conf file..

Alias /rawhide/ "/home/some/dir/here/rawhide/"

<Directory "/home/some/dir/here/rawhide">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Any ideas?

That may indeed be the case, not sure what permissions that dir needs...

That is the /home/some (top) dir, which is where it all starts.

This is from my error log file...

Disregard, guess it was a configuration error in my conf file, but it
seems fixed now, thanks.
