First, Apache alias directive requires that you slash terminate both the origin and target, e.g. / to /foo/. Aliasing / to /foo means that /bar -> /foobar, not /foo/bar as you would be proper. Second, AspNetMount does some tricks to strip off the trailing slashes. What I believe happened is that we stripped the one and only slash from the origin URI, which is not cool. Try Alias / "c:/StoreCSVS/" AspNetMount / "c:/StoreCSVS/" -or- Alias / "c:/StoreCSVS/" AspNetMount / "c:/StoreCSVS" and in the meantime, I'll investigate. There is some trickery, in the ASP.NET core code, where it tries to access the base directory by name. It seems (IIRC) that the trailing slashes were a bad thing when initializing the host, because it confounded ASP.NET's introspection of the base directory itself.
