The Fake name needs to be 14 characters or less. Longer names are not flagged as an error, and the command does not work. The fake name is case sensitive. In windows (or OS/2) this doesn't make a lot of sense). I suggest the following lines be added to httpd.conf under the notes on aliases. # # Keep fake names to 14 or less characters # Fake names are case sensitive >How-To-Repeat: Create an ALIAS fake name with more than 14 characters, eg Alias /PROJECT_OFFICE/ "//sys1/technical/project office/" Alias /Project_office/ "//sys1/technical/project office/" Alias /Project_Office/ "//sys1/tecnical/project office/" Set the real name appropriately, create a web page using the ALIAS and attempt to access the link. >Fix: Either 1) update documentation to describe syntax and restrictions of ALIAS or 2) allow longer fakenames and/or remove case significance of fakenames for Windows versions >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
