[users@httpd] Backtracking inside ?

[Christopher Nagel <ch...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm setting up Django in Apache and thought it would be cool to do something like this:

<LocationMatch "(/.*/).*\.py">
   SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE $1settings.py
</LocationMatch>

Unfortunately, it's looking for $1 as a literal, not as a reference to the first regex element.

Am I going too far, or am I just using the wrong syntax?

Thanks!
Chris

I think you're going too far ;-)
I don't think that the LocationMatch "memorises" the match to pass it to 
another directive.

But you should have a look at mod_setenvif.
