Dir aliases not working

[ssg0]

Hi!

I have downloaded Apache 1.3 for windows and am running on Win98 to get the feel of it. I see that I am not able to get directory aliases working.

i.e. if I want

http://www.mydomain.com/mysite

to be redirected to C:/some/directory/mysite it wont happen.

What could be the problem?

I made the necessary Alias entry in the httpd.conf file. But I get the HTTP 404 error.

Please help
Thanx in advance

Difficult to say since you didn't provide what your config looks like. Make sure your config looks similar to this:

Alias /mysite/ "C:/some/directory/mysite/"

Oops, almost forgot that you need to restart the http server wheneveryou make changes to the httpd.conf. In windows I believe it gets started as a service.
