[users@httpd] How to get Alias and ProxyPass working in vhost file with Location
and Directory?
Hello all, this is an expert-level question from a newbie:
I've got a vhost file setup to ProxyPass off to Rails on port 3000, but
now we're told we have to server images and CSSs from a shared directory
elsewhere. The thought is to have a /www/static/images/ where all images
live and are served from. This is what my working vhost file looks like:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName myserver.host.com
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
# Other entries like LogLevel, ErrorLog, etc.
</VirtualHost>
# a couple <Location ...>..</Location> entries for permissions
Now if I add the following entry after </VirtualHost> I'm able to view the
images at http://localhost/images/whatever.jpg:
Alias /images/ /www/static/images/
<Directory /www/static/images>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
However I cannot access the images from
http://myserver.host.com/images/whatever.jpg - that only returns 404
errors. I've attempted to put the Alias line (and sometimes the Directory
entry) inside the VirtualHost, even before the ProxyPass/Reverse lines
with no change in behaviour. Other alternatives were to try a SymLink
with Option FollowSymLink or ProxyMatch - except that doesn't seem to have
a Directory directive - or another ProxyPass - but would that be something
like ProxyPass /images/ http://localhost:80/images/?
The documentation I've found so far has no examples, and my Google-fu
seems to be lacking here.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
-Chris

As far as I know, apache does not do trailing-slash redirects unless
mod_dir is present.

I doubt that. It probably shows http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/
(note the trailing slash). This is usually what is desired. The
index.htm is considered an implimentation detail that is better hidden
from the client. If you really want this, then redirect directly to
it:
Redirect permanent /keyword http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/index.htm

Joshua,
Sorry for late question.
I thought mod_dir will append this trailing-slash but
seems Apache core can also do it. what is the
relation of mod_dir and Apache core for this
trailing-slash redirect handling?
Thx, Q.Xie

Re: [users@httpd] Keywords and apache
Posted by sn...@cob.org.
It appears to be serving up the correct page, but the full URL isn't
showing. I tried adding the "UseCanonicalName off" and it didn't appear to
affect anything.
So when I type in www.mydomain.com/keyword the browser delivers
www.mydomain.com/keyword/index.htm, however, the address bar in the browser
only shows www.mydomain.com/keyword
When I type in www.mydomain.com the browser delivers
www.mydomain.com/index.htm and the address bar in the browser shows
www.mydomain.com/index.htm (this is what I'm trying to accomplish with the
keywords).
I made sure the dir module is loaded as well.
Here's what the access log shows when I try to pull up
www.mydomain.com/keyword
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [19/Sep/2006:16:43:20 -0700] "GET /keyword HTTP/1.1"
200 6942 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4)
Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4"
Based on your comment about the trailing slash. I found documentation
pointing to the need to have the following directive:
DirectorySlash On
I added this and it didn't appear to fix this issue either, although it
sounded like it was supposed to address it.
My DirectoryIndex is set as follows:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm default.html
</IfModule>

This is called a trailing-slash redirect, and should happen
automatically if you have "UseCanonicalName off". Then the index.html
should be delivered automatically if DirectoryIndex is set correctly.
If that isn't working, tell us exactly what is happening including the
contents of the error and access logs for the request.
For the second example, you need something like
Redirect permanent /keyword
http://www.mydomain.com/department/services/keyword/

[users@httpd] Keywords and apache
Posted by sn...@cob.org.
Can anyone point me to the best directive to use for keyword redirection.
What we're looking to do is allow visitors to our site to type in say
http://www.mydomain.com/keyword and have them be redirected to
http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/ and then let Apache pick up the default
file index.htm so that it results in the visitor be sent to
http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/index.htm. Another example would be
redirecting http://www.mdomain.com/keyword to
http://www.mydomain.com/department/services/keyword/index.htm
I tried the redirect directive but can't seem to get it to work. Here's
what I tried:
Redirect permanent /pw http://www.cob.org/pw/
Any help appreciated...I'll be sure to pay it forward.
Thanks.

Subject: [users@httpd] view a directory content from browser
Is there a directive for apache that can make all the users not viewing the list of the file in a directory when they access Apache webserver from browser?
I'm thinking about something like DirAccess off/on.

[users@httpd] Proxy config not acting as expected
Posted by sn...@cob.org.
I have an Apache 2.2.2 server set up to reverse proxy and am having some
problems.
Here's the config:
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.1
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.1
The intent is to redirect everything hitting / to a back end server. The
backend server is a Domino server. The static files hosted on the Domnio
server are being reverse proxied correctly as well as most of the dynamic
pages. However, when I try to access one of our Domino web applications,
it has the following results:
Without the reverse proxy server in the way the resulting address looks
like this:
http://www.cob.org/cob%5Cbid.nsf/(bidswww)/77B-2006?OpenDocument&vc=301822&
With the reverse proxy server in the way I get a 404 error and the
resulting address looks like this:
http://192.168.1.2
/cob/bid.nsf/frmWebSignUp?OpenForm&Seq=1&bid_number=77B-2006
Here is what the access log on the reverse proxy server shows:
"Post /cob/bid.nsf/frmWebSignUp?OpenForm&Seq=1&bid_number=77B-2006
HTTP/1.1" 302 - "http://192.168.1.1
/cob/bid.nsf/frmWebSignUp?OpenForm&bid_number=77B-2006&
"Get /cob%5Cbid.nsf/(bidswww)/77B-2006?OpenDocument&vc=301822& HTTP/1.1"
404 228 "http://172.17.10.25
/cob/bid.nsf/frmWebSignUp?OpenForm&bid_number=77B-2006&"
I thought by having the proxypass and proxypassreverse in place at the site
root level, it would handle any subdirectories for the entire site. Any
idea why this isn't working?

To rephrase, you have a global ProxyPass for a site and you want to
exclude certain directories. Start by reading:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass
Then, BEFORE the existing ProxyPass directive, put
ProxyPass /images !
Alias /images /www/static/images
