I am having trouble figuring out how to add a directory in my http.conf file so that i can organize my website. I have everything in the site in the document root folder var/www/html but I cant figure out how to add another directory such as var/www/html/pictures to be seen as www.mysite.com/pictures and put an index.html in that folder. you know what i mean just to organize it a bit. my root folder is getting really big and I want to add directories and cant seem to find a definitive way to do it in my searches.

so what kind of lines need to be added to my conf file?

thanks

you do not need to add a directory to your httpd.conf just add the pictures directory to your document root.

such as the directory structure below.

document root - Index.html
->Pictures - Index.html
-->image1.jpg
-->image2.jpg
->Files
-->file1.zip
-->file2.zip

to get to file1.zip it would be http://mysite.com/Files/file1.zip

well.. i thought i tried that already and it wouldnt allow access. ok then i will give that another try then... are there any little exceptions to that by any chance?
