   Really one stop article for learning about .htacess.
   You should put complete .htaccess file content as you explain rather than part of it. This will help immensely to users like us.
   Thanks again.

   Is there some htaccess rule to auto create symlinks from dir to another dir?

7. Per Qvindesland ~

   Hello All,

   Appologies but I am having a slight problem, I am hosting mirrors for some open sourge mirrors and I am about to start for the Apache project but there is some requirements that apache has that I have never done before and I really would like some input, I have put my .htaccess file on the document root outside the apache directory and the other mirror directories, apache wants to have the following in

   IndexOptions FancyIndexing NameWidth=* FoldersFirst ScanHTMLTitles DescriptionWidth=*
   HeaderName HEADER.html
   ReadmeName README.html
   AllowOverride FileInfo Indexes
   Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

   but if i put this in and edit the path I get a 500 error, could you please tell me where I am going wrong?

   Regards
   Per Qvindesland

   @ mindrape

   Yeah I noticed that too.. Instead you can use mod_rewrite.

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} HEAD
   RewriteRule .* /cgi-bin/head-robot.cgi

   Script HEAD directive doesn’t seem to work in apache 2.2 :( any ideas?

It's very simple - you read the protocol and write the code. -Bill Joy
