.htaccess not working with Alias

[Dronealone]

Hi,

I'm running Apache 1.3.x using virtualhosts and have done a simple redirect:

(trimmed down)
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
ServerName

http://www.x.com

ServerAdmin sysop@x.co.uk
DocumentRoot /home/users/x/www/
Alias /devftp /home/users/devftp/www
</VirtualHost>

The alias works fine, however when I put a .htaccess file into the /home/users/devftp/

http://www directory,

it is not being read - has anybody any idea? Other .htaccess files work perfectly when not aliased.

Thanks

Hmmm, when I look at your config above I noticed that your "Alias" has a different directory path than that of your "DocumentRoot". Within your .htaccess file what directory path do you specify? If the path only includes your "DocumentRoot" try including the "Alias" directory as well.

ie:
<Directory "/home/users/devftp/

http://www/">

...
</Directory>

I have seen problems in the past were the .htaccess does not work with aliased directories.
