    Can't get Alias directive to work on Apache
    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.
