Depending on your setup, yes it can be. The "Alias" directives are there so that when you type in "http://www.mysite.com/phpmyadmin" Apache will redirect the request to "/usr/share/phpmyadmin". What this does is allow you to keep scripts outside of a website's directory structure. I use them with PHPMyAdmin to primarily prevent tampering by my various users but it also makes it easier to update/patch the app(s) when needed. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
