title: Alias 403 Forbidden with Apache
body: <p>I'm trying to create a folder named week7 and an html page named hello.html in that folder outside the document root and have it viewed through an Alias directive. </p>
  
  <p>I created a folder named week7 out of the Document Root.
  I chose this location for it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/www/week7
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>while my document root is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/www/apache22/data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in httpd.conf and under  tag, I wrote:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Alias /week7 /usr/local/www/week7
  &lt;Directory /usr/local/www/week7&gt;
      Require all granted
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After rebooting the server, I got the following message:
  Forbidden 403 message.</p>
  
  <p>I tried changing permissions for the hello.html file,
  the week7 folder and even the www folder and nothing changed.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
