Probably from your invented syntax.... Try changing

> Deny from None

to

> Allow from all

Apache doesn't really understand English, you know :-)

Thanx but the i have tried both formats means

Deny from None
Allow from all

and both worked well anywhere else
and both are NOT working with this aliased directory

"Deny from none" isn't your problem, but as Owen points out, it is a stupid
configuration. It may result in apache doing a reverse lookup on each host
conecting to your server to check to see if they are coming from hostname
"none".

Your problem is one of the things addressed here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#forbidden

(most likely, the permissions on parent directories.)

Joshua.
