Configuring apache mod_alias giving Internal server error

Question

I have following configuration for my virtual host

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    ServerAdmin                     admins@example.com
    DocumentRoot                    /home/mydir

    ServerName                      mydir.domain.com

    ErrorLog                        /home/mydir/logs/apache-local-error_log
    CustomLog                       /home/mydir/logs/apache-local-access_log common
    RewriteEngine                   on
    RewriteLog                      /home/mydir/logs/rewrite.log
    RewriteLogLevel                 3

    Alias /proj /home/mydir/proj/public_html

    <Directory /home/mydir>
        Options +Indexes
        AllowOverride       ALL
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

i have laravel installation in /home/mydir/proj and when I try to access http://mydir.domain.com/proj I get "Internal Server Error" and in logs I get following:

rewrite.log:

apache-local-error_log:

In /home/mydir/proj/public_html I have standard .htaccess for laravel:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On
    # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [L]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)$
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.

index.php does not exist in the location it is searching for it? — Sumurai8, Nov 28 '14 at 09:30
There is index.php in /home/mydir/proj/public_html @Sumurai8 — Tornike, Nov 28 '14 at 09:32
I assume the Alias you have is the culprit. I don't have enough experience with those to be sure though. Try commenting that out, restarting Apache (required step!) and trying again. — Sumurai8, Nov 28 '14 at 09:33
@Sumurai8 yes alias is the problem and I need to fix it not remove. I have removed and it works if I go to http://mydir.domain.com/proj/public_html but I don't want to write public_html in url and I don't want files above public_html to be accessible though http — Tornike, Nov 28 '14 at 09:38
Why not change the document_root then? If you don't want access to files below that level, you should move the document root to the /proj/public_html directory instead. — Sumurai8, Nov 28 '14 at 09:43
@Sumurai8 I have lots of projects like that and I don't want to create individual virtual hosts for each of them — Tornike, Nov 28 '14 at 09:44

Update the configuration file.

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    ServerAdmin                     admins@example.com
    DocumentRoot                    /home/mydir

    ServerName                      mydir.domain.com

    ErrorLog                        /home/mydir/logs/apache-local-error_log
    CustomLog                       /home/mydir/logs/apache-local-access_log common
    RewriteEngine                   on
    RewriteLog                      /home/mydir/logs/rewrite.log
    RewriteLogLevel                 3

    Alias /proj /home/mydir/proj/public_html

    <Directory /home/mydir>
        Options +Indexes
        AllowOverride all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have apache 2.2 and the Reuire all granted gives me following error: "configuration error: couldn't perform authentication. AuthType not set!" I have searched for the solution but most of time i get that i need to remove it or use "allow from all" instead. tried it but no luck. — Tornike, Dec 01 '14 at 08:20
