root works, alias doesn't (1 reply)

Can anyone tell me why this works:

root /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
location / {
root /var/www/localhost/htdocs/webalizer/;
}

And this doesn't:

root /var/www/localhost/htdocs;
location / {
alias /webalizer/;
}

I get:

"/webalizer/index.html" is not found (2: No such file or directory)

/var/www/localhost/htdocs/webalizer/index.html does exist.
