[support] url alias not working?

[will hall]

hi earnie, thanks for this, but i don't think i really understand.

i think you are saying that /radio and /section/radio aren't valid 
values in those fields bc they are themselves aliases. so how do i find 
out the values for the existing system path and alternate path data?

thanks
- will
