Just one thought. How does PHP know where the page is? I'm guessing that 
environment variables such as DOCUMENT_ROOT will not be pointing to a 
useful place.

What happens if you create a dummy PHP document in a directory that 
corresponds?

E.g. say I have http://website/alias/myscript.php

Where Alias is mapped to c:\alias\ but the standard webpage root is 
c:\xitami\webpages\

What happens if you create a directory and file 
c:\xitami\webpages\alias\myscript.php which prints something like "HI 
you made to the DUMMY page"?

Do you still gte a blank or do you get the "DUMMY" message?
