LinuxQuestions.org - Apache + Alias directories returning 404

(I've banged my head against this problem for a coupla weeks now, and I'm finally admitting I'm stumped by it...)

I'm running Apache 2 (not sure which exact version, but I'm trying to get that now.) on my Gentoo server, and after a brief period of it being so badly misconfigured that it wouldn't serve documents at all, I have it working again.

Except for the Aliased directories, which I just get a 404 on each time I try to go to them.

My httpd.conf file is below:

# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run

# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.

# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for

# Supplemental configuration

# Most of the configuration files in the /etc/apache2/modules.d/ directory can

# be turned on using APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2 to add extra features

# or to modify the default configuration of the server.

#

# To know which flag to add to APACHE2_OPTS, look at the first line of the

# the file, which will usually be an <IfDefine OPTION> where OPTION is the

# flag to use.

I would very much appreciate being told where I've got this wrong, as it's beginning to annoy me... ^^;
