Summary09850: Apache Alias Definition ignored and DocumentRoot used
Description

When there is an alias Definition like

Alias /limesurvey /var/www/domain.tld/sub/folder

in the Apache Config is ignored and the DocumentRoot

DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.tld/httpfiles

is used leading to an opendir error which shows the warning about the wrong server path /var/www/domain.tld/httpfiles/... and not being able to find the installer etc.

The 2.5 Versions of Limesurvey did not show this behaviour. Could have to do with the .htaccess Rewrite rules in the 2.6 branch.

Steps To Reproduce

Put DocumentRoot into /var/www/domain.tld/somedir and Limesurvey into /var/www/domain.tld/someotherdir
Define Alias for Apache like Alias /survey /var/www/domain.tld/someotherdir
Turn on mod_rewrite # might me superfluous
Go to https://domain.tld/survey

The htaccess file provided with LimeSurvey is a minimum configuration designed to work with Apache most common configuration type. If you have a more special setup you might need to set it up differently, but we cannot acommodate every possible scenario, sorry. Anyway, this is not a bug but a server setup issue so discussion about this should be done in the forum. Thank you!
