Apache alias

[Mark Cooper]

In principle that should work fine -- at least it works for me by default
with Ubuntu Server and Apache2 ('Options FollowSymLinks' is set in the
config.). Do you have an index.html/index.php in your non-web root
directory? It could be that directory listing is disabled in your Apache
configuration. Otherwise check the directory permissions on the non-web
root.
