Configuration

Links

See email from Simon B:

../../misc/howto/apache/email-simon-b-2008-jan.txt

Minimal apache2.conf which works with default install of Apache 2 on debian.
```
../../misc/howto/linux/debian/apache2.conf
```

Note

Might be best to use the cut-down Apache configuration as discussed in my Django deployment notes, Apache with WSGI

Location

Linux:

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Directory

To add a folder:

Alias /lucene-app "C:/projects/lucene-app/target/site"
<Directory "C:/projects/lucene-app/target/site">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

The url, http://localhost/lucene-app/ will access this folder.

Download

I wanted msi files to be downloaded rather than opened on a page so I added the following type:

<IfModule mime_module>
    TypesConfig conf/mime.types
    AddType application/msi .msi

Note: Not sure I needed to do this because conf/mime.types already includes the msi type.

Redirect

I used the following configuration to re-direct all requests to /accounts and /profile/ to the home page of my site:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@pkimber.net
    ServerName pkimber.net
    ServerAlias www.pkimber.net

    DocumentRoot /var/www/pkimber/webroot

    RedirectMatch "^/accounts/?" "http://pkimber.net/"
    RedirectMatch "^/profile/?" "http://pkimber.net/"

    ...

Note:

The ? in the regular expression makes the / optional.
