I've computed some data on a VPS node that I want to show to people. Is there some quick and dirty way to publish a file so it's visible to the outside? I'm thinking something along the lines of a public_html directory. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia Cloud Services mailing list Cloud(a)lists.wikimedia.org (formerly labs-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud

Hmmm, it turns out, this doesn't work. Apache fails to start with: AH00534: apache2: Configuration error: No MPM loaded. I found a bunch of explanations of why this is happening (sounds like a bug in the default apache2 config?), and how to fix it, but by the time I'm into hacking apache2 config files, we out of "quick and dirty" territory, so I'm going to pass. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I appreciate the offer, but it's not so much a matter of getting it to work, but keeping it simple. For the few files I need to export, I can just copy them manually to someplace else.
