# 30.8. Make Apache aware Faq-O-Matic file's location

Once Faq-O-Matic has been installed in the system, we must add the following lines to the `httpd.conf` file of Apache to be able to locate and use it's features.

1. Edit the `httpd.conf` file, vi `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf` and add the following lines between the section tags <IfModule mod_alias.c> and </IfModule>:

                   Alias /faqomatic/ "/home/httpd/faqomatic/"
                   <Directory "/home/httpd/faqomatic">
                   Options None
                   AllowOverride None
                   Order allow,deny
                   Allow from all
                   </Directory>

                   Alias /bags/ "/home/httpd/faqomatic/bags/"
                   <Directory "/home/httpd/faqomatic/bags">
                   Options None
                   AllowOverride None
                   Order allow,deny
                   Allow from all
                   </Directory>

                   Alias /cache/ "/home/httpd/faqomatic/cache/"
                   <Directory "/home/httpd/faqomatic/cache">
                   Options None
                   AllowOverride None
                   Order allow,deny
                   Allow from all
                   </Directory>

                   Alias /item/ "/home/httpd/faqomatic/item/"
                   <Directory "/home/httpd/faqomatic/item">
                   Options None
                   AllowOverride None
                   Order allow,deny
                   Allow from all
                   </Directory>

2. Don't forget to restart your Apache web server once you have added the above lines to its `httpd.conf` file:

                   [root@deep ] /# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

                   Shutting down http:                                        	[  OK  ]
                   Starting httpd:                                            	[  OK  ]
