CentOS VPS Server Apache Alias

All,

We have a hosted CentOS 6 VPS server, using CPanel to install/config the domains/subdomains and installed osTicket in:

my.domain.com/tkng/

We are trying to define the following Apache alias:

my.domain.com/tickets

which has to point to:

my.domain.com/tkng/upload/

CPanel installs the domain admin user at:

/home/myuser/

and the domain is at:

/home/myuser/public_html

Since Apache runs at /etc/httpd/

and includes the directory /etc/httpd/conf.d/

I created file /etc/httpd/conf.d/alias.conf with this definition:

Code:

    Alias "/tickets" "/home/myuser/public_html/tkng/upload" 

                      <Directory "/home/myuser/public_html/tkng/"> 

                           Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks 

                          AllowOverride All 

                          Require all granted 

                     </Directory>

This has no effect!

Some of what I read suggest putting the alias in the domain .htaccess file, others say I need a symlink. Some others say I need a different path statment but not sure if they are talking about making the symlink first and using that path or not.

What I can tell is that CPanel makes setting up an Directory Alias very difficult and there is a page labels Aliases inside of CPanel which is not aliases at all but instead Virtual Domains.

Need some help here to get this concept right to finally be able to get a working alias.

Going to also install some other apps on this domain, so getting this first alias right is critical.

Thanks!

aliasadm

aliasadm(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      aliasadm(1M)

NAME

       aliasadm - manipulate the NIS+ aliases map

SYNOPSIS

       aliasadm -a alias expansion [options comments] optional flags

       aliasadm -c alias expansion [ options comments] [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -d alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -e alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -l alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm -m alias [ optional flags]

       aliasadm [-I] [-D domainname] [-f filename] [-M mapname]

DESCRIPTION

       aliasadm makes changes to the alias map.

       The alias map is an NIS+ table object with four columns:

       alias	       The name of the alias as a null terminated string.

       expansion       The value of the alias as it would appear in a sendmail /etc/aliases file.

       options	       A  list	of options applicable to this alias.  The only option currently supported is  CANON. With this option, if the user
		       has requested an inverse alias lookup, and there is more than one alias with this expansion, this alias	is  given  prefer-
		       ence.

       comments        An  arbitrary  string  containing comments about this alias. The sendmail(1M) command reads this map in addition to the NIS
		       aliases map and the local  /etc/aliases database.

OPTIONS

       -a	       Add an alias.

       -c	       Change an alias.

       -d	       Delete an alias.

       -e	       Edit the alias map.

       -I	       Initialize the NIS+ aliases database.

       -l	       List the alias map.

       -m	       Print or match an alias.

       -D domainname   Edit the map in domain  domainname instead of the current domain.

       -f filename     When editing or listing the database, use filename instead of invoking the editor.

       -M mapname      Edit mapname instead of mail_aliases.

FILES

       /etc/aliases    mail aliases for the local host in ASCII format
