Files inside Alias folder not accessible

  • 772

In my apache2.conf I have an alias setup like this:

Alias /cake/ /var/www-cake/repo
<Directory /var/www-cake/repo>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AllowOverride All
    Options +Indexes
</Directory>

inside the /var/www-cake/repo directory I just have 1 file that is index.php

when I go to http://linux-server/cake/ I get a directory listing that shoes the index.php file. When I click on the file it takes me to http://linux-server/cake/index.php in which I get a 404 page not found error.

What do I need to do to make the files accessible?

apache2

  1. I changed my code to this:

    Alias /cake /var/www-cake/repo
<Directory /var/www-cake/repo>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Options +Indexes
</Directory>

    Notice the trailing slash is now removed from the Alias. I do not know why this made a difference I was just trying random things and this one seemed to fix it :)

  2. Insider your directory block trying updating Options to: Options +Indexes +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks After your edits make sure to restart the Apache service.

    Secondly make sure you don't have any conflicting directives in a .htaccess file inside /var/www-cake/repo/
