Did you set the property "export" to "true"? You can also set the
property "exportname" to a folder, e. g. "/my/resources/" for
"/system/modules/.../resources/".

By default the folder "/system/galleries/pics/" to "/pics/".

No. The static export folder is defined in "opencms.properties" and the
default value is "$CATALINA_HOME/${WEB_APP_NAME}/export". Take a look at
"staticexport.path". For more information about JSP and OpenCms read the
documentation. All the statically exported files are put into the folder
"staticexport.path".

| In this folder (export) OpenCms stores all exportes zip-files. You can put
| your own exported zip-files here to import them via the database administration.

Set the values of "staticexport.path" to your htdocs folder. Maybe you
didn't export your files statically.
