[users@httpd] alias with subfolders

apache 2.2.9

Hi,

try to use 

Alias /folder1/folder2 /local/path/local/path

in my httpd.conf. All i get is an 404 error.

If i change to:

Alias /folder1 /local/path/local/path

/folder1 is correct maped to /local/path/local/path and requests are ok
I did not found any hint that aliasing with subfolders is not allowed.
What could be the problem? 

Thanks
Andre

Indeed in the documentation states that *is* allowed:

<quote>
For this reason, when two or more of these directives apply to the same 
sub-path, you must list the most specific path first in order for all 
the directives to have an effect. For example, the following 
configuration will work as expected:

Alias /foo/bar /baz
Alias /foo /gaq

</quote>

Now, unless you have another "Alias /folder1" in your config, maybe the 
problem is another one. What error is logged in the error_log when you 
get the 404?
