Setting aliases with apache2 ?

[punkdanne]

Hi !

Today i set up my first apache-server, and i want to set "aliases", where apache should look for files. How should i do this in ubuntu ?

The quick answer is to edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and near the bottom of the file add an entry similar to the following.

Alias /virtualname/ "/home/me/html/realdirectory/"
<Directory "/home/me/html/realdirectory/">
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
</Directory>

You will want to change the virtualname and /home/me/html/realdirectory/ entries as required. Also check out the Apache documentation for Alias, ScriptAlias and Options.

Good Luck.
