http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26052 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-02-07 10:25 ------- Indeed, Alias, ScriptAlias, mod_rewrite and UserDir all can brake DOCUMENT_ROOT validity. BTW, regardless of ScriptAlias, doesn't a script know where it's own filename is (complete path)? There are other variables that state it. So a script can know it's own whereabouts, even if aliased outside the DOCUMENT_ROOT. Aren't Alias, ScriptAlias, mod_rewrite and UserDir for the purpose of doing _specific_ configurations? I mean for when you need a custom, tweaked configuration. (oh, and with mod_rewrite you can create a workaround, I've given the example already). aliasing/url rewriting does give the responsability to the httpd admin for needing/wanting a _specific_ connfiguration layout and it's his responsability to notify his website owners about things that work and things that don't work or work differently in the environment that he has created. [one that is not the generic config BOTH needed and sufficient to run a website] Since : <virtualhost> DocumentRoot ... does set a consistent DOCUMENT_ROOT, and mod_vhost_alias is by it's mission, a way to allow you to simplyfy your config, NOT doing some _specific_ aliasing schemes. So why can't mod_vhost_alias give the same results as writing multiple <virtualhost> directives? That's what it's mission is supposed to be, right? If i do some further aliasing, that's my problem as an admin and i shuold know what i break. And most often I really don't need such specific aliasing. If DOCUMENT_ROOT is supposed to be so useless/unreliable, what should i do to find where my site's files are located? asume going ../ from the script path ? I am only sorry my knowledge of C is so limited, 'cause I would've written a patch myself for mod_vhost_alias long ago. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
