How does one apply DirectoryIndex to an Alias in Apache without resulting in error 403?
This results in response header 200:
http://localhost/
Which presentshttp://localhost/index.html
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.xhtml index.htm default.htm
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
This results in error 403, forbidden:
http://localhost/aliasName/wwwrootDevelopmentSubDirectory/
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.xhtml index.htm default.htm
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /aliasName/ "/home/user/Dropbox/Level1/Level2/wwwrootDevelopment/"
<Directory /home/user/Dropbox/Level1/Level2/wwwrootDevelopment>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.xhtml index.htm default.htm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
error.log reveals same message seen in the browser.
