Don't use linuxconf to edit anything on Mandrake. Here's what it looks
like by default:
#
# Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The
# format is
# Alias fakename realname
#
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
#
# Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server
# will
# require it to be present in the URL. So "/icons" isn't aliased in
# this
# example, only "/icons/"..
#
Alias /icons/ /var/www/icons/
Alias /doc /usr/share/doc
#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server
# scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications
# and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to
# the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives
# as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /protected-cgi-bin/ /var/www/protected-cgi-bin/
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
#Provide two aliases to the same cgi-bin directory,
#to see the effects of the 2 different mod_perl modes
#for Apache::Registry Mode
Alias /perl/ /var/www/perl/
#for Apache::Perlrun Mode
Alias /cgi-perl/ /var/www/perl/
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
# End of aliases.
Obviously, linux conf was not putting it surrounded by the
<IfModule></IfModule> section.
