Ah, then that is the error of my thinking. I thought there was a "tie-in" between the two. By using the ALIAS I could refer to the directory using the ALIAS'd name. I thought they referred to the same thing internally. That was the error of my ways. Sooooo, does changing the <Directory> work? YES! Thank you. Your patience working with me prevailed and now I understand that part of Apache better. Being it worked with everything else displaying the proper webpage I was misinformed in my thinking that the names were synonymous. I now need to go back and change the rest of my <Directory> settings to refer to the real path. Thank you!
