It has come to light that this person is running an IT business listing fake "capabilities" to lure and befuddle unsuspecting victims.
A search for their username should turn up 2 wordpress blogs, one of which contains the attached list of "capabilities" as well as a link to another site containing even more nonsense/presumptiousness.
I will not link these sites.
But I think anyone attempting to help someone who's so habitually exaggerating/pretending/overbearing to obviously oversell their questionable services, should know about these things first.
I always use that source, but it does not address this scenario. Here is a sample:
Quote:
Alias "/ads" "/media/$USER/3Tdrive/Syncs/Corporate/Marketing/Ad Campaigns/"
<Directory "/media/$USER/3Tdrive/Syncs/Corporate/Marketing/Ad Campaigns/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
According to the info in the link you sent this should work fine, but not being in the root "/" directory, the "/home", "/var". or the "/var/www" directories, or in otherwords the default drive, it somehow does not render correctly.
What I am asking is can I use a symlink to trick Apache into seeing this drive as a directory on the default drive. The other option I see is a mount statement in the "fstab" file, to give it a fixed directory location in the file system. I think because it is showing under "/media" the system sees it as a temp directory and there Apache will not recognize it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the scenario.
If the content is on another drive, make that the DocumentRoot; then no alias would be required.
scasey,
Under the /media/$USER/3T the drive sometimes does not register on boot up, so thinking I need to add it to fstab to make sure it is always there, so the Doc Root will naver fail. Am I right?
What do you think that means to apache when it starts?
Code:
<Directory "/media/$USER/3Tdrive/Syncs/Corporate/Marketing/Ad Campaigns/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Again, what does that mean to apache?
That makes no sense at all to me. It appears that you expect apache to change the path it serves from based on who logs in to the system... is that right? If so, you need to rethink that.
So once more, what are you expecting the value of $USER to be when apache reads that config file?

astrogeek,
I went to "fstabs" and entered the 3 TB drive so now on boot it mounts as just "3T". Now my aliases.comf file reads for one new link:
Quote:
Alias "/WRU" "/3T/Syncs/pathinfo/Webs-R-Us/"
<Directory "/3T/Syncs/pathinfo/Webs-R-Us/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Which should assign the declared directory to "localhost/WRU" in the browser, but it is not and also not rendering any of the .PHP files, which is declared in the /etc/apache2/apache.conr file.
Not really sure what you are asking, but that is my understanding of an alias!
