I have a problem to create alias.

I can't create an alias outside the htdocs folder of xampp.
Did anybody had this problem ?

Here is my alias :

Code: Select all

Alias /dev "D:/www/"
<Directory "D:/www">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

But, it doesn't work.
Thanks a lot for your answer.

But, it doesn't work.

Why not? Browser error message, error.log, ...?

I realized after posted this message that I haven't put any precision on my message... Sorry about that.

I have a 403 error (forbidden access) on my screen, but if I put my alias to a folder into "htdocs", it works really good...

I think I have a problem in my httpd.conf....

Thanks you for your answer et for your help.

Code: Select all

Alias /dev "D:/www"
<Directory "D:/www">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

When the Alias has no leading slash, the leading slash at the Directory isnt allowed.

Thanks for your answer but sorry, but i have the same problem.

I added Options FollowSymLinks in my alias but it doesn't work too.

Code: Select all

Alias /dev "D:/www"
<Directory "D:/www">
Options FollowSymLinks
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Does anobody got a solution ?

Thanks a lot.
