Problem serving static files

[Charles-Mourad Jaber]

Try out to update your config.root :
config/mainresponder/domain/yourSite/Sitetree/directory/outline
Edit the XML file with :
<site folderPath="your static file directory" name="the virual directory
name"></site>
it may work...
I'm using it for serving some static content and pictures...

Subject: Problem serving static files


I am desperately seeking a solution to my problem. I
have created a website with Manila. Everything is
working fine with it. However, I have another site that
is already existing (static files) that I would like
Frontier to serve on the same box. I put a folder
containing the site in the GDB\www folder and tried to
browse the files, but I just get 404 errors. If I
browse the files from the server I can see them fine. I
tried putting filespecs in the mainresponder.domains
table, but that did not help. I do not want to have to
recreate this site in Manila. Does anyone know why I
cannot browse this folder?

Also, I have several ip addresses on this box and would
like to assign one to each of the two domains (for two
different sites). After I set this up in my DNS
records, what do I have to do in Frontier?

Please excuse my naievete, but I am more of a designer,
not a programmer. Thanks for your help.
