Rewrite an Alias directory

apache, mod-alias, mod-rewrite

Solution

mod_alias ALWAYS takes precedence over mod_rewrite. You can never override a mod_alias directive with mod_rewrite.

The AliasMatch directive may help you in this case.

Problem

I'm trying to first use an Alias folder to store my project files in a different location than my `DocumentRoot`, and then execute a `mod_rewrite` on this request. However it doesn't seem to parse the `.htaccess` file. This is the content of my Alias file: ``` Alias /test F:/Path/To/Project <Directory F:/Path/To/Project> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ``` This is my `.htaccess` file: ``` Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule .* index.php [NC] [PT] ``` When I remove the Alias everything works fine.
