Alias which works like in other web servers

[marc at corky.net]

Hi Igor,

I need / to point to /var/www/site,  /blog to /var/www/wordpress, 
/nagios to /var/www/nagios, /munin to /var/www/munin   the /munin, 
/nagios and /blog/wp-admin dirs should be password protected using auth.

All dirs except /munin and /nagios have PHP scripts in them that need to 
be run.

Thanks!
