haora · 03-10-2005, 07:41 AM

Hi all..., I'm trying to configure my apache so, that when I want acces a directory it will call a php script, that after checking the ip of the visitor will show the content of that directory....

But I don't know wich configuration file to change...., and what to put in it....

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance..

So long as the name of the script is listed in DirectoryIndex before any other filename in the directory it will be picked up first. You can then get your php script to check the IP and generate a directory listing.

Depending on what you are trying to acheive you may be able to use the Allow directives and apache's inbuilt directory listings.

What I'm trying to do is simple, I want my self, and a few co-workers to see the directory listing of any directory in my machine....(I do this with a php script), the thing is, I don't know how to tell apache to run that script when someone is trying to acces a directory in my machine....

The best I could do was put an "index.php" file in "/" but it only works when you access that directory...

Can you tell me how to configure apache to do what I want?

Thanks!

Ah, so you want it to be accessed for every directory.

The simplest thing to do would be create an apache rewrite url
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myscript.php?path=$1 [L]

Then just evaluate $_GET["path"].

Ok, remember I'm in the newbie forum..., which means..., I have no idea about what you just said....
I need a little more...., like what files to change..., what do I do to that file?, just write that in?, where?

Thanks!

The rewrite rule will need to be added to the <Directory> directive for your DocumentRoot in httpd.conf.
