Hi Hugo,
I have the following VirtualHost and for some reason the alias redirection is not working.
when I type mydomain.com/fred I get a 404 from the WebsiteRoot .
I do not get redirected to the directory I specified...
Could you please help?

VirtualHost {
   Hostname = www.mydomain.com, mydomain.com
   EnforceFirstHostname = yes
   WebsiteRoot = /www/production/httpdocs
   StartFile = index.php
   Alias = /fred:/www/development/clients/freddomain
   AccessLogfile = /www/production/logs/default.access.log
   ErrorLogfile = /www/production/logs/default.error.log
   TimeForCGI = 15
   UseFastCGI = PHP5-FPM
   UseToolkit = wordpress
   DenyBody = ^.*%3Cscript.*%3C%2Fscript%3E.*$
   ExecuteCGI = yes
   #PreventCSRF = yes
   PreventSQLi = yes
   PreventXSS = yes
#   WrapCGI = jail_mydomaindev
}

Does the directory /www/development/clients/freddomain exist and does it contain a index.php file?

Hi Hugo,

Tes it does exist and has data in it..
I can access it if I change the WebsiteRoot and comment the Alias

Hi,
As fas as i know you can't make alias and urltookit work together . CMIIW
it is intended behavior as Hugo said in this thread https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/forum/topic/1492/#7977

Hiawatha looks at aliases after processing the UrlToolkit rules.
