See: http://martin.hinner.info/mybook/lighttpd.php

In step 1 replace the command
ln -s /shares/internal/PUBLIC /usr/www/lib/
into
ln -s /shares/internal/PUBLIC/ONLYSHARETHIS /usr/www/lib/

Hopes this helps,

Max

Or if you want to share multiple folders in PUBLIC:

# ln -s /shares/internal/PUBLIC/SHARE1 /usr/www/lib/SHARE1

# ln -s /shares/internal/PUBLIC/SHARE2 /usr/www/lib/SHARE2

You can then access the respective shares at:
http://mybookworld/SHARE1 & http://mybookworld/SHARE2

I'm only getting a "404 Not found" when I try to access http://<MyBookIPaddress>/PUBLIC. I followed the guide to lighthttp on Martin Hinner's page (and there wasn't much to follow…) :)

Is there something I'm missing? It's worth mentioning that I'm not a Unix-whiz, so dummie-explenations are welcome :)

Have you restarted lighttpd?

Other than that, how about posting your lighttpd.conf and the output of:

ls -lah /usr/www/lib/

I think I solved a part of the problem. When I try to access browser listing I enter my ip-address. But that leads the browser to my adsl modem and router's login screen. How do I bypass or bridge this so the router leads the "visitor" to my network drive? This would be configuration on the router, not the mybook. I'm using an A-link RR24AP.
