I'd like to store my nicely designed set of http error documents outside the DocumentRoot.

Alias /errors /data/opt/apache-httpd-2.0.63/htdocs/errorpages/
<Directory  "/data/opt/apache-httpd-2.0.63/htdocs/errorpages/">
    order deny,allow
    allow from all
</Directory> 

ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/default.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/default.html
ErrorDocument 502 /errors/default.html
ErrorDocument 503 /errors/default.html

However, when I do this, all I get is "The requested URL /errors/default.html resulted in an error."

Is it possible to use mod_alias and the ErrorDocument directive together like this in Apache 2.0?
