Ubuntu – How to create apache Alias ubuntu 12.10

12.10Apache2

I have installed the LAMP on my Ubuntu 12.10. All are working correctly.

But I want to create a alias like phpmyadmin

I have created the folder root 

/home/user/Dropbox/Development/www/

And added the following lines in my apache2.conf file

Alias /dropbox " /home/user/Dropbox/Development/www/"
<Directory " /home/user/Dropbox/Development/www/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

When I access it like localhost/dropbox, I received 403 Error Message. Permission Not Denaid. How can I fix this easily

Did you restart the server afterwards?

sudo service apache2 restart

Check this out too on Ubuntu forums. It looks like a similar problem to yours and is easily fixed.
