[Server-devel] Browsing school server

[David Leeming]

Anna,

 

Many thanks. It's weird because I was using 0.5-0 and I only needed the
single link to /var/www/html/content to get back to the folders of content
and browse them. I did not need to do any of the suggested actions below.
But I will try this and learn something new! Thanks.

There is an alternative you can also use - less moodle-centric, and
may be unsupported going forward

1 - create a new directory: /var/www/mylocalcontent , put your files there

2 - add a new apache config file in /etc/httpd/conf.d - in that file,
you need an Alias line, and a <Directory> section. I think it needsto
be something like

  Alias /mylocalcontent /var/www/mylocalcontent
  <Directory /var/www/mylocalcontent>
  order allow,deny
  allow all
  </Directory>

3 - Edit the moodle header include to add a link to that content -
look in /var/www/moodle/web/themes/xo/header.html


Since, at least for now, we're not going to be using moodle in Birmingham
yet, I renamed  


/etc/httpd/conf.d/010-make-moodle-default.conf

to /etc/httpd/conf.d/010-make-moodle-default.conf.orig

and then /var/www/html/ went back to the way it was as in XS 0.4.  In fact,
on my test server, I have /var/www/html on a separate partition on another
physical drive, so it only took an fstab edit to put the web content back.
