The right way to do that using KDE (others display managers can do similar) is open the url in konqueror and drag-and-drop the tiny icon in front of the url in location bar to the desktop and choose link here.
After that you can access the page just clicking on the icon in Desktop.

Thanks for the response Marozzsas.
I am not looking for a short-cut. I am looking for a link so that my mail users d not have to type the actual path.
if the destination is out of DocumentRoot you also need to put this directory somewhere in the configuration (I can't remember the exact direcctive for this one sorry)
Alias /webmail/ "/srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind/folder/mail/"
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind/folder/mail">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>
I changed a few things. Still no luck. I get an "Object not found" error in the browser when I attempt to http://www.hingedmind.com/webmail. Also the URL changes to
Alias /webmail "/srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind/folder/mail/"
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind/folder/mail/">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php redirect.php login.php
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Are you sure the destination exists and you can access it?
I mean, assuming Documentroot is /srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind , it seems that http://www.hingedmind.com/folder/mail/
does not work (took the permission to go on your website
?
as I said in a previous post , I think you only need a directory directive if it is outside your docroot.
Its been a while I've not used the amazing apache, so correct me if Im wrong..
Thanks KimVette and nx5000,
I should explain a little more about the configuration. I used obscure names to keep it simple. I want to call squirrelmail from the browser http://www.hingedmind.com/minmail
The document root is /srv/www/hrdocs/hingedmind (I should change this to /srv/www/htdocs for virtual hosting). This does put squirrelmail within the document root (to answer your queston nx5000).
Current configuration: I looked at the directives page and in particular FollowSymLinks and it was enabled earlier (unless I am not seeing what you are pointing to).
Alias /mindmail "/srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind/squirrelmail-1.4.5/src"
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/hingedmind/squirrelmail-1.4.5/src">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php redirect.php login.php
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
What you did should work, I don't get it.
Did you look at the logs?
*IF* you use the other method of a symbolical link (you have minmail a link to squirelmail/src) then the FollowSymLink has to be for the documentRoot , not for the destination!
