Error 404
Icons from the "Icons" folder are not displayed when running Web Element using apache2.
The problem lies in the new "icons" folder since at least version 1.11.46.
v1.11.39 did not have an "icons" folder and the icons were in the "img" folder.
The reason why icons from the "icons" folder are not displayed is the default Apache settings in the file
**/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf** which [looks like this](https://exampleconfig.com/view/apache-ubuntu20-04-etc-apache2-mods-enabled-alias-conf):
```
# Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is
# Alias fakename realname
#
# Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
# require it to be present in the URL. So "/icons" isn't aliased in this
# example, only "/icons/". If the fakename is slash-terminated, then the
# realname must also be slash terminated, and if the fakename omits the
# trailing slash, the realname must also omit it.
#
# We include the /icons/ alias for FancyIndexed directory listings. If
# you do not use FancyIndexing, you may comment this out.
Alias /icons/ "/usr/share/apache2/icons/"

# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
```
A quick solution is to comment out the line:
`Alias /icons/ "/usr/share/apache2/icons/"`
But it's better to rename the "icons" folder to something else.
