Iconize is a cool CSS layout with a set of icons to iconize each kind of link inside your webpage. As I decided to use them in one of my personal projects I found out a little trouble with it because it didn’t work on the first try. Thinking on how http works I tried to find if the directory icons/ had some visibility from the internet and what i discovered? it worked but… wasn’t the icons folder of Iconize. WTF! was the icons folder of Apache!! so… working on Ubuntu:

grep -R icons /etc/apache2/*

And there it goes:

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf:#Alias /icons/ “/usr/share/apache2/icons/”

I added a comment on the line like:

#Alias /icons/ “/usr/share/apache2/icons/

And rebooted Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Problem solved, everything working.

Thank you pooliestudios.com people! Iconize is a great work!
