 This will make Trac available at `http://yourhost.example.org/trac`.

 For example, if Trac is mapped to `/cgi-bin/trac.cgi` on your server, the URL of the Alias should be `/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/chrome/common`.
 
+Similarly, if you have static resources in a projects htdocs directory, you can configure apache to serve those resources (again, put this '''before''' the `ScriptAlias` for the CGI script, and adjust names and locations to match your installation):

For example, on a Debian 4.0r1 (etch) system the relevant section  in apache configuration can look like this:

+and you'll have to create your .htpasswd file with htdigest instead of htpasswd as follows:
+{{{
+# htdigest /somewhere/trac.htpasswd trac admin
