to make apache “serve” files, the .htaccess file must contain:
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
the FollowSymlinks is in case we created a symbolic link using:
ln -s newLocation oldLocation
add a description to the apache file display column
example:
AddDescription “The planet Mars” /web/pics/mars.gif
puts “The planet Mars” in the description column
