alias /releases "/data/holding" <Directory /data/holding> Options All FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I put this in my /etc/httpd.conf. I made a directory tree in root of: /data/holding containing 2 files with permissions 755. After restarting Apache I was able to browse to http://www.mywebsite.net/releases. But not with permissions of 744 which I found curious being that I am able to view a web page in my web root which is a php file with permissions 644. I suppose it has to do with the way Apache handles URI to filesystem mapping or even the alias possibly. Make sure you have restarted your server and that the necessary modules are loaded. Which if they weren't Apache would surely complain on a restart. Hope this helps in some way or another.
