virtual directory / script alias..
 

Maybe some of your Unix freaks can help me with this :(

I am trying to create a virtual directory/scriptalias named "/scripts/" for a directory "/var/www/html/scripts/", but there's no provided way to do this in the web-based admin tool.

can someone tell me how to do this, by SSH.

thankx a lot.

Apache config file.

oh I see , but which file do I need to edit?

you can put that in your httpd.conf file but be careful and ask your host if you aren't comfortable doing it.

I was trying to located httpd.conf but I can't find it anywhere.

I was thinking of doing with .htaccess but that probably wouldn't work. Ah my host is kind of anal about this stuff, if I have special requests like this I have to figure it out myself. :(

also I dont have a dedicated server, this is just a shared account with SSH access..
