mod_alias in .htaccess

Hi,

I know you’re not allowed to have a alias in .htaccess, but I would like, on my hosting server, to create an alias (I use godaddy). Is there anything I can do about this?

You can test if mod_rewrite is available

RewriteEngine on
# rewrite /alias/foo to /folder/foo
RewriteRule ^alias/(.*) /folder/$1 [L]
