Author OT: seting up an alias directive in Apache 2.0.47

Hello all.

I know this is slightly off thread, but the answers to questions in this ng
don't seem to have the "I'm an outrageous nerd and I'm going to blind you
with your own ignorance" factor that a lot of the Apache related newsgroups
have. I apologise if it irritates.

Put simply, I'm trying to create an alias in my Apache configuration. I have
followed the instructions in the manual and I have googled it to death, but
I can't seem to get the damn thing working.

This is the code in the httpd.conf:

Alias /simplydesigns/ "c:/simplydesigns/"

<Directory "C:/simplydesigns">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

According to what I have read in the manual, this theoretically should work.
All it does though is give me a 404 message when I type either
http://localhost/simplydesigns or http://localhost/simplydesigns/ (with the
trailing forward slash).

Anybody have any ideas? This is driving me insane.

thanks for your time,

trav
