Aliases

This screen demonstrates you the Alias settings. It often happens that the URL requested by a client does not correspond to an actual resource on the server or corresponds to a resource in a different place. Aliases allow translating the URL into a different location. You can use aliases to locate resources somewhere else other than the document root directory always supposing that these resources can be accessed by URL.

An alias allows silent substituting a URL prefix with a file path prefix. A script alias allows executing scripts in the same way. In general, an alias takes two parameters:

- The URL to an alias (local path) and
- The path to alias it to.

To add a new alias click the Add Alias button.

You can edit alias settings or delete alias using corresponding actions. The list of aliases displays the following:

Field Name | Description
Local path | The Local Path. For example, /var/www/html/manual/.
URL path | A path to be appended to a website URL. For example, /manual/.
Type | Alias type: Alias - for files, ScriptAlias - for scripts.
Actions | Click on the icons in this column to configure or delete an existomg alias.
