This is very simple question: what should I do in httpd.conf to map some URL
to the file system directory? I need something like this:

<Location /MyURL/SomeURL/>
ProxyPass D:\myDir\mySubDir
</Location>

Apache 2.2 on Win 2003 Server. I've been reading <Location>, <Directory> and
<Files> documentation and I haven't found any example.

    Most likely what you are after is the "Alias" directive.

    Yes, Alias is what I need. But it doesn't work for me. I have this case:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:/Dir1/Dir2"

    <Location /MainPath/App1>
    ProxyPass http://tomcat1/MainPath/App1
    </Location>

    Alias /MainPath/AL "D:\Dir3\Dir4"
    <Directory "D:\Dir3\Dir4">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Location /MainPath/>
    ProxyPass ajp://tomcat2/MainPath/
    </Location>

    ProxyPass /MainPath ajp://tomcat2/MainPath

    </VirtualHost>

    and when I visit http://apachehttpd1/MainPath/AL tomcat returns 404 not
    found :(

    Documentation says:

    "Note however <Location> sections are run through once before aliases are
    performed, so they will apply."

    but it doesn say how to fix it :( What should I use instead?

    I am afrtaid you are instructing apache to pass /MainPath/ to tomcat,
    which includes /MainPath/AL ... maybe you could Alias /MainPath/AL
    within other Location directive.

    Tell Apache not to proxy that specific URL (no location block with this style):

    ProxyPass /MainPath/AL !
    ProxyPass /MainPath/App1 http://tomcat1/MainPath/App1
    ProxyPass /MainPath/ ajp://tomcat2/MainPath/

    Alias /MainPath/AL "D:\Dir3\Dir4"
    <Directory "D:\Dir3\Dir4">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Cheers

    Tom
