[users@httpd] Apache - URL based environment variables
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to configure appache webserver to set
different UNIX environment variables depending on the url text entered.
eg.
<base url>/A
would be required to set an enviroment variable Config=A
and
<base url>/B
would be required to set an environment variable Config=B
These two urls will share a common system directory and therefore a
common <Directory> directive. The CGI scripts in that directory use the
environment variable to determine what database to use etc.
I have tried with a combination of one <Directory> directive and two
<Location> directives, but the location directives are having no affect.
eg.
Alias <base url>/A <system dir>
Alias <base url>/B <system dir>
<Directory <system dir>>
...
</Directory>
<Location <base url>/A>
SetEnv Config A
...
</Location>
<Location <base url>/B>
SetEnv Config B
...
</Location>
I am quite sure that this used to work in versions of apache before 2.2.
Any practical sugestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
Stephen Brennan

Nick,
I believe the syntax
is
RewriteEngine on;
RewriteRule <base url>/A/.* - [E=Config:A]
RewriteRule <base url>/B/.* - [E=Config:B]
_________________________________________________
my actual setup
Alias /bugzillatest /usr/share/bugzilla
Alias /bugzillaother /usr/share/bugzilla
<Directory /usr/share/bugzilla>
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteRule .*bugzillaother.* -E=BugzillaDataRoot:/home/Bugzilla/data
RewriteRule .*o.* - [E=BugzillaDataRoot:/home/Bugzilla/data]
SetEnv webservergroup apache
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
</Directory>
_______________________________________________
However what I am trying is not working the pattern .*other.* should
match bugzillaother but it doesn't.
The pattern .*bug.* matches and .*o.*, .*bugzilla.*, .*bugzill.* and
.*bugz.* do not. It appears to me that the matching is being done
against a different string to what I am expecting or the pattern
matching is not working properly.
Could you please explain what is going on?
Cheers
Stephen

Nick,
Thank you. Is this the best way to achieve this? Ie. I am sure that I
have managed to do this before with Location directives. Has this
changed?
Would this be the correct syntax for my example?
RewriteEngine on;
RewriteRule <base url>/A/.* - E=Config:A
RewriteRule <base url>/B/.* - E=Config:B
Cheers
Stephen

RewriteRule.
Capture the path component you want, and use it with the E flag and the
- target.
