Um, if http://localhost -> /var/www then http://localhost/sjweb -

Configure DNS so that 'sjweb' is an alias to your workstation and this
config will work when you try http://sjweb/ (at least, I think it will,
I'm no expert!)

Presumably you could set a symlink from /var/www/sjweb -
> /home/npb/Web/SJWeb too, never tried. You'll have to make sure all the
filesystem permissions are set correctly, but you'll know when that's
the problem because you'll start seeing 'Permission Denied' instead of
'Not Found'.

Cheers,

Richard.
