If you're refering to:
No I was referring to this:
ltwally why do you need to expose the files location, can you not put the contents in a (sub)folder of the html folder? This folder is exposed to the web  by default and your content of files should be available without further hassle.
... so you might be better of relocating the files folder.

The html folder is exposed to the web, why do you need to share the files folder, why not (just) relocate your files physically?

I spent a while looking for that file in /etc/rc.d/......  and did not find it.  I did a search for "e-smithAccess" in the developers guide, without any results.  After that, I quit on that.  Because what I really am looking for is a very specific answer.  A how-to.
You either made a typo or did not read properly as I never mentioned the /etc/rc folder in this case.

It may be simple to someone with loads of SME knowledge.  That is not me, and, once again, I simply don't have the time, energy or desire to become an SME expert.  So if there isn't a cheat-sheet answer... I go with what I already know about Apache, and just edit the httpd.conf file.  Because that works, and I could do it without having to read 20 pages of documentation.
If you search in the proper places it is, the template system really is not that hard, but you seem reluctant to have a go at it. By reading some of the howtos you might also get a hint on how the template system works, but it seems that you are not even listening/reading properly judging from above.

Consider this my last nudge in the proper direction, as I am getting quite tired of supplying you advice and getting told that you do not want to hear that. It is impossible to have a standard set of code for every single used-case when using SME Server, especially not the non-standard like you are wishing for. If you could provide the cheat sheet after reading the documentation you are more than welcome to add it to the wiki. Open source comes with penalties as well, being not money, but time either to read and understand what you need to do or to provide something back to this ever growing community of in general very satisfied SME Server users.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
