[Server-devel] Public folders

[Tim Moody]

I created a directory public under /library into which I copied a few pdfs.

I created a file xs-library-public.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d which contains

Alias /public/ "/library/public"
<Directory /library/public>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
</Directory>

After service httpd restart I get an index of the pdfs from 
http://schoolserver/public
