I am running Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, and installed XAMPP 7.4.33 because I want to test a web application using a particular version of PHP. XAMPP installs Apache of course, and the first thing I want to do is to get the Alias directive working.

XAMPP installs to /opt/lampp/
and inside there is a directory htdocs
and inside here, I created a directory called alias-test, and then 2 subdirctories called old and new.
So the structure is like this...

/opt/
  lampp/
    htdocs/
      alias-test/
        old/
        new/
          test.html

At this point, with Apache running, I can browse to http://localhost/alias-test/old/ and to http://localhost/alias-test/new/ and as expected, in both cases, I get an Apache-generated listing of the files in these directories – that is, the "old" directory shows as empty, and I can see the "test.html" file inside the "new" directory.

Now, what I want to achieve is to be able to navigate to http://localhost/alias-test/old/test.html and for Apache to load the file /opt/lampp/htdocs/alias-test/new/test.html. So in /opt/lampp/htdocs/alias-test/ I created a .htaccess file and put this inside...

Alias /alias-test/old /opt/lampp/htdocs/alias-test/new

Now if I navigate to http://localhost/alias-test/old/test.html I get an Apache error:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 500

localhost
Apache/2.4.54 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.1.1s PHP/7.4.33 mod_perl/2.0.12 Perl/v5.34.1

So, what's going on? What have I overlooked to get this minimal viable example working?

I set up an EC2 instance on Amazon AWS and installed a LAMP stack by following the tutorial here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html
I assigned an elastic (i.e. static) IP address to my instance, and pointed a domain name that I own at it (via DNS records handled by my domain registrar, which is not AWS). When I browse to my domain, I can see my index.html file - everything is working fine so far.

I want to set up some email addresses that just auto-forward to existing Gmail accounts. Imagine my domain is mydomain.com - what I want is to set up [email protected] and whenever anyone sends email to this address, I want it to be automatically forwarded to (for example) [email protected].

What is the simplest way to set this up? I wonder if AWS has a tutorial I can walk through.
