DocumentRoot /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site Alias /update "/www/www.my-example.co.uk/site/dave" <Directory /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- or ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DirectoryIndex index.html DocumentRoot /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site Alias /update "/www/www.my-example.co.uk/site/dave/" <Directory /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- And please try following urls through browser; http://www.my-example.co.uk http://www.my-example.co.uk/update Please let me know,If You have any questions or concerns.

DirectoryIndex index.html Alias /update /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site/dav Alias /update /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site <Directory /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site> ... Then I get the 405 error. There is a subdirectory of my 'site' DocumentRoot called 'dave'. If I have: ... DirectoryIndex index.html Alias /update /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site/dave Alias /update /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site <Directory /www/www.my-example.co.uk/site> ... Then the second 'Alias' line is ignored and DAV works, but serves up my 'dave' directory.
