Hello

I have an alias that symbolically links to my radiant application’s  
public  
directory. Both are under public\_html. I can call the home page by going  
to:  
[http://my.example.com/alias/](http://my.example.com/alias/)

But when selecting a child the alias is dropped from the path, like  
below:  
[http://my.example.com/controller/child](http://my.example.com/controller/child).

The path should read:  
[http://my.example.com/alias/controller/child](http://my.example.com/alias/controller/child)

Any thoughts on how I can make this work? Thanks!!
