Good afternoon - I am working on a Catalyst application that serves
dynamic website content for multiple sites, and I've run into some
difficulty about static content. Each website has unique static
content (images, css, rss) and I am trying to serve that static
content from the site's unique directory. I have found lots of
documentation on how to serve all static content from a single
directory, but not much on a servername-dependent directory. For
example:
Request: http://www.timjohnson.com/css/global.css
Should be served with: /var/www/html/sites/timjohnson.com/css/
global.css
I came close to making this happen just using the Alias directive
in httpd.conf, but I couldn't get that to accept a variable, %
{SERVER_NAME}, in it. If someone has a solution from the Apache
side, that's fine but I suspect that it might be easier to do this
with Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple, though I again have not
figured out how to tell it to use a variable name when it creates
the path the request is supposed to be mapped to. I am sending
this to the Catalyst list because I suspect it might be something
other people have faced before using Catalyst.
My setup is a recent version of Catalyst running on Apache 2.2 with
mod_perl. Any suggestions would be quite welcome - thank you very
much.
As has already been said, you should use Apache for this. But if you
*really* want to use Static::Simple, take a look at the docs for the
"Including additional directories", and in particular the
incpath_generator sample code. You can write a bit of code that
returns one or more directories from which to serve static content.
