I am really ashamed of that. The alias is there to simplify the personal working space for users. Say if you visit http://192.168.1.1/personal/ Brain and there is already an alias properly configured you'll get your experiment space. One more point I like to add that the personal working space is also attached with webdav. So users get a felling that they works on their hard disk where the actual effect is on the server and seen by apache. The only issue here is page not found problem. According to the DirectoryIndex index.php apache should read the file but here it only works when I give http://192.168.1.1/personal/joydeep/experiment/index.php Trying to figure it out.
