Can't get Alias directive to work on Apache

Asked Oct 6, 2009, 04:14 AM — 1 Answer
Hi, I'm new at setting up web servers so please be gentle with me, thanks!

My DocumentRoot is located at C:\Music, but I want to have my photo collection in my D drive to be up on the web as well. I have in my httpd.conf:

Code:
DocumentRoot "C:\Music"
Alias /Photos "D:\Photos"

<Directory "C:\Music">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
But the alias isn't working. When I go to cPanel All I see are the folders under C:\Music.

The tutorial I followed to set up my web server is here. I do not have PHP, JSP and/or MySQL installed. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thank you!

Oh, wait. It does work. When I enter the url into the address bar, it does show me the photos in the D drive.

I thought it didn't work because I assumed the aliased directory will show up as a link on the parent directory page together with my music files from DocumentRoot.
