unable to create alias in apache

I'm new to Apache. Following a tutorial, I am trying to set an alias in Apache to look and serve files from a folder (project). Other than htdocs, this was my code to create alias:

<IfModule alias_module>
    Alias /project/ "C:/project/"
    Alias /project "C:/project"
</IfModule>
<Directory "C:/project">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

This doesn't work and when I type localhost/project/ in browser, the browser throws access forbidden.

How do I work around it?

You'll have to change your security settings on C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf The directory diretive must be on this file or it will always show the forbidden error.
