Creating Apache Alias for /httpd/manual


Hello, I'm currently trying to configure my server so the online manual will be accessible through the browser. The manual is located in the /httpd/manual directory. The absolute path to the manual on my machine is
/home/int420_081a24/httpd/manual. I'm having some issues configuring the Alias for the manual.

I simply get a 404 not found error.

Here is what the Alias section of my httpd.conf file looks like. Any help on how to resolve the error would be appreciated. Thanks

Code:
</IfModule>

<IfModule alias_module>

 Alias /manual "/home/int420_081a24/httpd/manual"
    <Directory "/home/int420_081a24/httpd/manual">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

    #
    # Redirect: Allows you to tell clients about documents that used to
    # exist in your server's namespace, but do not anymore. The client
    # will make a new request for the document at its new location.
    # Example:dso.html
    # Redirect permanent /foo 

    #
    # Alias: Maps web paths into filesystem paths and is used to
    # access content that does not live under the DocumentRoot.
    # Example:
    # Alias /webpath /full/filesystem/path
    #
    # If you include a trailing / on /webpath then the server will
    # require it to be present in the URL.  You will also likely
    # need to provide a <Directory> section to allow access to
    # the filesystem path.

    #
    # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
    # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
    # documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
    # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
    # client.  The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
    # directives as to Alias.
    #
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/int420_081a24/httpd/cgi-bin/"

</IfModule>

You should take a look first at apache error_log to see if you find out what's wrong. Perhaps apache cannot read the specified directory since it's under your homedir.
