View source for Add a public folder to ACP

Add a folder for downloading data files generated by ACP.

(This is the setup on Lumina's acp.analytica.com server, Substitute your directories and url's.)

*Add the folder D:/Acp/Accounts/Lumina/Acp Demos/Public to the Windows file system (In this example, the application must run in the Lumina/Acp Demos project - since ACP can't access folders in the windows file system outside of the current project and it's child folders).
*Edit the Apache httpd.conf file
**Find the section of the httpd.conf file with the ServerName and <Directory> tag following it. And add these lines (edit the directory path for your server) after the closing <Directory/> tag.

 #For sips sub project 
   <Directory "D:/Acp/Accounts/Lumina/ACP Demos/Public">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    </Directory>

Here is what this section of the httpd.conf file looks like afterwards (on Lumina's server)

 <Nowiki>#</nowiki>ServerName www.example.com:80
 ServerName 34.105.10.130:80
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki>
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki> Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki> explicitly permit access to web content directories in other
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki> <Directory> blocks below.
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki>
 <Directory />
     AllowOverride none
     Require all denied
 </Directory>
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki>For sips sub project
 <Directory "D:/Acp/Accounts/Lumina/ACP Demos/Public">
 	AllowOverride All
 	Require all granted
 </Directory>
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki>
 <Nowiki>#</nowiki> Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow

*Add to the VirtualHost section at the end of the conf file.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sips.analytica.com
    DocumentRoot "D:/Acp/Accounts/Lumina/ACP Demos/Public"
    Redirect permanent / https://SIPs.analytica.com/
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName sips.analytica.com
    DocumentRoot "D:/Acp/Accounts/Lumina/ACP Demos/Public"
    </VirtualHost>

* Set the <code>SIPs.Analytica.com</code> Domain to point to the same server as <code>Acp.analytica.com</code>.
* Add the <code>SIPs.Analytica.com</code> subdomain as a subject alternativee name to the server SSL certificate if you intend to use SSL to access this folder.
* Url to the files: <code>http://SIPs.Analytica.com/test.txt</code> (where <code>test.txt</code> is the data file). E.g. <code>http://SIPs.Analytica.com/test.txt</code>
* If you open this url in a browser you should see'''''"Hello World"'''''
* Note that If you entered just sips.analytica.com without the trailing " / " and file you would get a 403 error unless you have another page cached - since this Domain does not point to acp
