apache-2.4windows-server-2008

I'm looking to add a alias to "C:/Apache24/static" in Apache, simple enough, right?

Alias /static "C:/Apache24/static" 

<Directory "C:/Apache24/static">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

after reviewing your httpd.conf, I'd recommend you going over following document: Upgrading to 2.4 from 2.2 - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 AND posting part of your error_log so it can be future troubleshoot, as for alias itself, your syntax seems correct.

In my case the problem was wyth Python - it's x86 while everithing else is x64 (thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10447094/installing-mod-wsgi-module-for-apache)

Also the module import should be (thanks to Can't locate API module structure `mod_wsgi')

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

not

LoadModule mod_wsgi modules/mod_wsgi.so

Try check the existing permissions on the file:

ls -l index.html

Fix them if necessary:

chmod 644 index.html

If all the standard permissions are correct and you still get a Permission Denied error, you should check for extended-permissions. For example you can use the command setenforce 0 to turn off SELinux and check to see if the problem goes away. If so, ls -alZ can be used to view SELinux permission and chcon to fix them.

Eg:

sudo chcon -R -v -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t index.html
