apache icons in /icons folder??

Post by potato »

Hey devnetworkers,

i have a problem with a account on our server where i have some images in /icons that not belong to that account.
Looks like it are apache icons.
The owner of that account wants me that i change this...

Somebody knows how i can disable this?

greetings,
tom

and why are they there in the first place?
If i delete them, doesn't this gonna have problems afterwards?

i found something about Alias on the apache site, but dont understand it very well.
Alias /icons/ /usr/local/apache/icons/ then the url /icons will not be aliased.
what does that mean?

The icons are typically the standard icons associated with the Apache manual and the Apache generic start page. Removing them shouldn't cause a problem, but if you are reserved about doing that, why not make a temp directory and move the entire /icons directory into the temp, then comment out the line in httpd.conf that aliases the /icons folder. Restart apache and see what, if anything, happens (though I tend to think that nothing will happen).
