E.g. I would be happy if I could write this in the Apache configuration :
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/site1/cgi-bin/;/var/www/global/cgi-bin/
and have Apache look first in the local one, then in the global one each
time it is looking for a given script. And similarly for other documents
like javascript libraries.
Use mod_rewrite. See "Search pages in more than one directory":
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
Thanks, Perrin.
I didn't know mod_rewrite could to do that.
But isn't there an error in the examples shown ?
RewriteCond /your/docroot/dir1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.+) /your/docroot/dir1/$1 [L]
If the original URL is e.g. "/cgi-bin/myscript.pl", and I wanted to check the local
directory "/cgi-local" first, then this would evaluate to
RewriteCond /my/docroot/cgi-local/myscript.pl -f
but the "^(.+)" of the second line would evaluate to "/cgi-bin/myscript.pl"
which would give a final URL of : "/my/docroot/cgi-local/cgi-bin/myscript.pl"
which is probably not what I want.
Instead, should the example rule not be something like :
RewriteRule ^.*$ /dir1/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} [L]
?
