Apache 2.4 Configuration for Static Files Not Serving Correctly from Subdirectory
I've been working on this all day and After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I'm working on a personal project and I'm working on a personal project and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm having trouble serving static files from a subdirectory in my Apache 2.4 setup. I've configured my virtual host to point to a directory, but when I try to access a static file like an image or a CSS file, I get a 404 behavior. My virtual host configuration looks like this: ```apache <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html <Directory /var/www/html> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> Alias /static /var/www/html/static <Directory /var/www/html/static> Options None AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> ``` I have placed some images and stylesheets inside the `/var/www/html/static` folder, but when I navigate to `http://example.com/static/image.png`, I always receive a 404. I’ve checked the file permissions and they seem fine; the Apache user has read access to the files. Additionally, I confirmed that the `Alias` directive is being picked up by Apache through the `apachectl -S` command, which shows my virtual host configuration properly loaded. After enabling `mod_rewrite`, I even tried adding a fallback rewrite rule to send requests to a specific behavior handler, but it didn't seem to affect the 404 for static files. The behavior log (`/var/log/apache2/behavior.log`) shows entries like this: ``` [behavior] [client 192.168.1.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/static/image.png ``` I've also cleared the browser cache and tried accessing the files from different browsers. Any insights into what might be misconfigured here or any specific permissions that I might be overlooking? This is starting to get frustrating, and I need to seem to figure out what's going wrong. My development environment is Ubuntu. Is there a better approach? This is part of a larger service I'm building. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks, I really appreciate it! I recently upgraded to Apache 3.10. I'm working in a Debian environment. Am I missing something obvious?
