apache2: DocumentRoot, Location, mod_python

GSMD · 07-19-2007, 05:39 AM

I'm trying to set up a config like

Code:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName my.own.host
        DocumentRoot /var/www/drupal
        
        Alias /munin /var/www/munin
        # more aliases ...

        <Location /dev/trac>
                SetHandler mod_python
                PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
                PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
                PythonOption TracEnv /var/www/dev/trac/
                PythonOption TracUriRoot /dev/trac
        </Location>
        <Location /dev/trac/login>
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Trac Authorization"
                AuthUserFile /var/www/auth
                Require valid-user
        </Location>

        <Location /dev/svn>
                DAV svn
                SVNPath /var/www/dev/svn/
        </Location>

So that Drupal serves the main CMS and those extra locations allow access SVN and a Trac instance.
Now, I may access SVN, yet pointing to http://my.own.host/dev/trac/ would lead to Drupal 404 error.
In case I comment DocumentRoot out, trac becomes accessible.

Now, what could be the point with DocumentRoot bloocking it?

TIA.

Try using DirectoryIndex in each Directory declaration, instead of DocumentRoot for the entire VirtualHost.
And a little question: ¿did you closed the VirtualHost tag with </Virtualhost> at the end of the file/host declaration?

Thanks for your reply.
I'm not sure about DirectoryIndex as it only specifies the file that should be passed when a directory is requested. Does this have anything to do with Location?
Yes, the tag is closed.

What do you mean with this question? The file declared in DirectoryIndex will be the file the server will send when requesting the directory. And the location of client browser will remain unchanged (he won't know the name of the file he is watching).

And may be you want to add some Alias'es, like munin one, to tell the server where is each directory. If you don't do so, it won't let the client see the dev's directories.
