How to configure an alias in Apache 2.4?

Question

I need to config an alias in Apache 2.4, and work the same as phpmyadmin works in my Ubuntu AWS server. I created a site-enable file and add the following lines for it

    Alias /admin1/ "/var/www/html/admin"
    <Directory "/var/www/html/admin">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

But when I hit /admin1 it redirects to the 404 page,

Solution

I had a similar issue and my fix was to make sure my file ended with .conf . It seems this wasn't required in apache 2.2.

EDIT

As per the comment, apache 2.4's apache2.conf contains this line: IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf . sites-available isn't related to this, unless you've got a symlink from sites-enabled.

Check Apache error logs and update in your question

yes I did and i restart the server still its not good. and also after running apachectl -t I get Syntax OK message

I tried that still no good, and now my virtual host like this Alias /admin1 "/var/www/admin.dgstg2.com/html" <Directory "/var/www/admin.dgstg2.com/html"> Require all granted </Directory>

Try location instead of alias for me worked fine.

Did you configure a DirectoryIndex pointing to index.php or index.html ?
