Change /icons Directory Path

Hello, Could you change the icons directory from /icons to something else, or make it configurable? I am self hosting on apache2, and apache2 comes with default behavior that rewrites requests to/icons/.. to something else.

The behavior is defined in alias.conf, in /etc/apache2/mods-available/alias.conf

I tried disabling the module but the site basically fails to load at all for me without it. Unfortunately I am not experienced enough with apache config to know what I need to do to fix that behavior.

If there is an easy way to configure the directory to be different I would be interested in that solution also

<IfModule alias_module>
    # 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/"

    <Directory "/usr/share/apache2/icons">
        Options FollowSymlinks
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

</IfModule>
