Question

Is it legal to use two Directory and Alias in httpd.conf apache as in the following?

<Directory "C:/Projects/DCS/">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /dcs/ C:/Projects/DCS/


<Directory "C:/Projects/DCS_NEW/">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /dcs_new/ C:/Projects/DCS_NEW/

Answer 1

Sure, why not? As long as you’re not assigning more than one Alias with the same URL-path, it’s fine. By “same URL-path” I mean the first parameter, e.g.:

Alias /foo C:/some/path
Alias /foo C:/some/other/path
