[users@httpd] Alias not working
I need some new ideas as to what would make Alias used within a
<VirtualHost> container be ignored by Apache2.
<VirtualHost 192.168.0.3:80>
Alias /WebCam /home/WebCam/
ServerName www..vertualwebsite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/virtualwebsite
<Directory /home/WebCam>
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

That didn't fix the problem
At this point, I don't think that the problem is syntax, but some other trap
that I am not aware of effecting Aliasing. I actually have 2 Aliases in the
same <VertualHost> but only one is working. This other one doesn't, as if
it weren't in the .conf file at all.

Make sure that you don't have any of your aliases set like before and set
them all to no-trailing slash and it should be perfect.

Re: [users@httpd] Alias not working
Posted by Thomas Strike <st...@pacbell.net>.
That's one I missed. the Apache on line Docs didn't make this clear. You
really have to look at their example because they don't explain it this
factually.
I tried it after removing the end slash from the target subdirectory and it
still doesn't work.
Apache is still looking for a file, /var/www/html/virtualwebsite/WebCam when
I ask for http://www.virtualwebsite.com/WebCam/webcam.jpg
Any more thoughts?

Ok guys, the trailing slash has a meaning, and it's in the docs as well.
Alias /folder /home/folder - will point to http://website.com/folder +
http://website.com/folder/
Alias /folder/ /home/folder/ - will point only to http://website.com/folder/
Alias /folder /home/folder/ - will not point!
Alias /folder/ /home/folder - will point to the right folder but files are
not accessible, which means - not good. :)

Re: [users@httpd] Alias not working

If you put the trailing slash on, then Apache will not use the Aliased
subdirectory for it's search if the person accessing your web site leaves
off the end slash on the URL in his web browser.
( http://www.Website.com/myAlias ) Apache will not assume that myAlias is a
directory and not try to display index.html or a directory.
If you leave the trailing slash off of your declaration and this same URL is
used to access your Web Pages, Then Apache will assume that this is the
aliased directory and return the index.html or Directory.
See ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#alias )

That issue is about whether or not Apache will look for the default document
in the Aliased subdirectory if the person trying to access that subdirectory
leaves of the final slash.
