I've done several hours of research. I am running Ubuntu 22.04, I am on the latest release and I am not doing anything special or fancy to my computer. I've gotten to the point where I successfully am able to get my pages to display PHP properly, so, that isn't an issue. I would think that it would be easy to find out documentation to successfully create aliases. I notice there are some courses from LinkedIn Learning in their library, however, they are from 2018. I wary of about Apache especially when I've read elsewhere that there have been changes between versions 2.2 and 2.4 for Apache. This is my code so far. When I type in test1, it does not link to the file. These are the permissions for my files so far

# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is/home/jake/Documents/coding
#used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
