How to add an alias in httpd.conf

[fmortara]

Hi,
I want to add an alias link in httpd configuration for every user for redirect /webmail/ link to "/var/www/html/roundcube/".

Like as:
Alias /webmail "/var/www/html/webmail/"

I find the httpd-alias.con in extra dir, but if I modify this file, on update DA overwrite it?

Thanks in advance.

Only when apache updates.

You can always run the command:

chattr +i /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-alias.conf

to prevent it from being touched.

Only downfall is if there is a new alias you want to add you will have to remove the chattr settings before being able to edit the file.

In my epxerience the files in the extra directory are left alone, even when using custombuild to update Apache.

@fmortara, please don't double post.

I dunno I seen mine overwritten before. Not sure exactly when. Maybe it was an older release of custombuild or something.

I checked one of my servers before I posted that they weren't ovewritten. The definitive reply would have to come from user smtalk (Martynas); as I believe he wrote the custombuild code.
