Is it possible to install and use Apache web server despite being on a shared server? More particularly, is it possible to create Aliases??
Using a tutorial, I've downloaded Apache and PHP. One excercise calls to create an alias pointing to a folder on my desktop. Despite being able to successfully call I can't call the alias which has a .php file in it - Does being on a shared server have any bearing???
 
No.

points to your web root directory, which most of the times is /wherever/the/path/to/apache/htdocs.

You can change this path, to yours, in httpd.conf file which is in your /wherever/the/path/to/apache/conf directory
