Hi.
Apache 2.2.x, configuration.
I have read this : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html
but some aspect is still not very clear to me.
If I have :
<Location "/zone1/private">
.. some directives A ..
</Location>
<Location "/zone2/private">
.. some directives B ..
</Location>
<LocationMatch "/private$">
.. some directives C ..
</LocationMatch>
(The above URIs do not reside on the filesystem.)
If I access "http://myhost.company.com/zone1/private";,
are the above directives A and C combined ?
It depends on the directive, because each module merges their
configuration between sections explicitly.
The ambiguous ones are the ones that are conceptually lists. For
example, adding a new DirectoryIndex or Require is interpreted as a
fresh start even though one might expect/desire the opposite.
Contrast with the various mod_mime directives (AddType, AddHandler,
etc) which really are merged together from location to location.
I guess that the basic question is : does Apache finally select one and only
one Location/LocationMatch which applies, and then apply only the directives
within that section, or does it accumulate/merge all that applies ?
From the doc, I believe the latter, but it would be nice to have a definite
confirmation by an expert.
They are merged two-at- a-time from lowest to highest priority, but it
may ultimately look like the "last" one is selected depending on the
directives (the final per-directory config can be treated as the
verbatim config, or treated as a delta from the result of the previous
merges)
I'll bet that in your second life, you're a politician or a lawyer.
:-)
I'll interpret that as a "mostly merge, except that some
modules/directives don't".
Thanks.
