How to retrieve a local file from a portal report.

Question

Hi,
I need to access a local htm file from my local directory. I stored the filename in
a table. And I built a portal report to select the filename from the table. The filename
in the report will be link to a procedure that I created to pass the filename. The
procedure code is as follow:
(v_filename in varchar2) IS
url varchar2(100);
BEGIN
url := 'uploaddoc/'| |v_filename;
portal30.wwv_redirect.url(p_url =>url);
END;
Then in the httpd.conf file, I put in an alias like this:
I put an alias in the httpd.conf file like this:
Alias /uploaddoc/ "C:\My_Data\uploaddoc/"
I stopped the http server and restarted it after I made the changes.
When I run the report, I click on the filename link: in my example,it is:
internal_portal_faq, the filename is passed to the procedure that I created.
But I got the following error message on the browser:
No DAD configuration Found
DAD name:
PROCEDURE : internal_portal_faq
URL : http://localhost:80/pls/portal30/uploaddoc/internal_portal_faq
I am running on version 3.07 on NT on my laptop.
Any idea what I did wrong?
P.S. I don't want to upload the file using a portal form into the blob field.
Thanks;
Kelly.
