Another .conf question

[Rasmus Lerdorf <ra...@lerdorf.on.ca>]

Question about per-directory .conf directives.  If I have the following:

<VirtualHost www.foo.com>
DocumentRoot /usr/foo
ServerName www.foo.com
MyDirective /usr/lib
</VirtualHost>

<Directory /usr/foo>
MyOtherDirective /usr/bar
</Directory>


MyDirective and MyOtherDirective are both directives defined in my own
module.  I would have assumed that for directory /usr/foo both of these
directives would be set.  From experimenting it looks to me like only
MyOtherDirective is set.  Would this be a problem in my module's merge
function or is it a limitation of the .conf code in Apache?

Aha.  Thanks.  Just needed a reality check there to make sure I wasn't
chasing down something that would never work.  I found the problem now.
It was indeed in the merge function.

I strongly suspect your merging function.  Are you sure your request is
getting mapped into the www.foo.com vhost?  And, since they're two
different directives (rather than one in two different places), are
you sure they're affecting the same fields in your internal structures?
