Forbidden access for /var/www/html?

Hi,

I have installed "Multi Router Traffic Grapher" and want now access to my MRTG reports. :)
MRTG reports are located here: /var/www/html/mrtg/index.html

I have set at the bottom of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Alias /mrtg "/var/www/html/mrtg"
<Location /mrtg>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/.htpasswd
AuthName "Statistics“
require user xxx
</Location>

Now I get:
[root~]# /etc/init.d/httpd configtest
[Wed May 29 00:06:39 2013] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1014 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
Syntax OK

Line 1014: Alias /mrtg "/var/www/html/mrtg"

After reload configs I run:http://www.domain.tld/mrtg
I get my AuthType, after Login I get only a FORBIDDEN (You do not have permission to access this document.)



SOLVED

Rename from
Alias /mrtg ...
to
Alias /traffic ...
helps and I see now ALL, but where is this another "/mrtg" alias? Not in httpd.conf. Why is /mrtg forbidden to access?
