[users@httpd] Apache configuration to catch any directory access

Hi,

Is it possible to have any configuration in apache conf files/script
files that can catch immediately when the document_root is accessed and
notify to some application.

The client who accesses the directory won't send the request to a php
script/any other script/conf file . Neither it will touch some files for
Apache to understand that the document_root directory is accessed.

Then how does Apache understands any request to the document_root at the
time a new request comes.

Regards,
sharmistha

Hi,

maybe you can pipe out the output of log file to some script

CustomLog "|bin/doAcctionAfterDirectoryAccess" common

of course, you can customized logfile output (check CustomLog directive)
and you can set action only for specific directory (check Directory and
CustomLog directive).

Hope this is what you are looking for.
