Apache Error

sachinh · 01-10-2011, 04:49 AM

Hello,

We are using Apache web server version2.2 on SLES 10 Linux.
So far our home directories were /home/<usersname> & /home1/<username> so it used to match with the regular expression "/home*/*/public_html"
defined in mod_userdir.conf file.

But now we have introduced one more home directory as /home/basic/<username>.
Now the question is how to define the regular expression to include all the types of home directories ?

I tried to include one more level in /home*/*/public_html as /home*/*/*/public_html. This works fine for new types of home directories.
But it has now stopped working for older home directories . i.e. /home/<usersname> , becauze of the extra /* level.

So in short what we are looking for is the correct regular expression maching both old and new home directories.

I hope i made all clear. Please let me know if you require anymore information.

Thanx,
Admin

Hi,

In apache-2.2, you can have multiple directories in UserDir, like:

Code:

UserDir public_html /home1/*/public_html /home/basic/*/public_html

Then you can use a DirectoryMatch:

Code:

<DirectoryMatch ^/home(.*)/public_html>
Allow from all
...
</DirectoryMatch>
