[users@httpd] Apache 2.0.55 / alias and windows folders

["P.M" <pm...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm new in Apache HTTP and i have some questions regarding ALIAS command.

i do not want to place all my websites developped under the documentroot folder, so based on documentation, i've tried to use an alias....without success.

just after the documentroot definition, i wrote that :

ALIAS /test "E:/MyTestFolder"

<Directory "E:/MyTestFolder">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

When i run my internet browser, i should be able to reach my website stored in this folder, by typing :

http://localhost/test/index.php or
http://localhost/test/index.html..... as it depends on my first page.

But nothing works.

So, could you let me know what i did not do, or what i did wrong ?

thanks a lot,
Maileen

I've found what was the error.
In fact, the Alias is case-sensitive and my Driver letter was in capital letter instead of tiny. ;-(

stupid mistake.

Everything works well now.
