My DocumentRoot is here:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
My Aliases look like this:

Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/"
Alias /public_html "/home/user_name/public_html"

What is wrong with the second Alias line above?

I want to be able to have one or two of my files
in /var/www/html and the rest of them
in /home/user_name/public_html
Will this work with Alias or symbolic links?
I have tried both and neither works for me.
I have read this several times and it just is not working
for me.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#alias
The text below came from the Apache manual on my local box
The Alias directive allows documents to be stored in the
local filesystem other than under the DocumentRoot. URLs
with a (%-decoded) path beginning with url-path will be
mapped to local files beginning with directory-path.
What does the second sentence above mean?
# cd /; ln -s / public_html
Accessing
http://localhost/~root/
This would allow clients to walk through the entire
filesystem.
Will some be kind enough to explain how this would work?
This appears to be what I am trying to do with my user
directory but it isn't working.
