rewrite not working inside alias

Hello list,

I am running debian lenny box with apache2 and mod_rewrite enabled. I
confirm that rewrite rules are working well with the default /var/www
directory which is my document root. I have one more config with
alias like

`````````````````````````````````````````````````
Alias /personal/joydeep /var/personal_work_area/joydeep

DocumentRoot /var/personal_work_area/

<Directory /var/personal_work_area/joydeep/>
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

and the .htaccess is as below

`````````````````````````````````````````````
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html
``````````````````````````````````````````````

the page bob.html works fine. But when I visit alice.html as
http://192.168.1.1/personal/joydeep/test/alice.html
it reports

``````````````
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
```````````````````

Though the same thing work well under /var/www . I am really confused
here. Could any one please enlighten me ? any mistake ?

Thanks for bearing with me.

I think you need to look at:-

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase

Or just put the rewrite httpd.conf, you don't seem to require an .htaccess?

No luck :-( I have put

````
RewriteBase /var/personal_work_area/joydeep

````

at .htaccess but no success. I have also tried to put the same in apache
configuration as

````````````````
Alias /personal/joydeep /var/personal_work_area/joydeep

DocumentRoot /var/personal_work_area/

<Directory /var/personal_work_area/joydeep/>
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
RewriteBase /var/personal_work_area/joydeep
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
`````````````````````

failure :-(

It's a URL path, not a filesystem path.
