Well I found what i believe is the correct information, however it is still not working.
What I've done, is in the enterprise server gui, gone to configuration>HTTP Service>Virtual Servers>myserver, then under properties added a name of "alternatedocroot_1" and a value of "from=/myurl/* dir=y:\ " (including a trailing space after y:\)
where Y: is a mapped network drive on my 2008 server full of PDFs shared via samba from a RHEL4 server. (part of a corporate imaging system).
however when browsing to sub.domain.com/myurl/ i get a 404 error. I even tried
http://sub.domain.com/myurl/specific.pdf and nothing.
When this didn't work I tried the manual method of:
asadmin set server.http-service.virtual-server.server.property.alternatedocroot_1="from=/myurl/* dir=y:\ "
and still nothing. I read a restart is not necessary, but I tried it anyway, still nothing.
I'm sure it's something simple, but I just can't make it work... any ideas?
