I have been trying to do this with wildcards and regexes, but have
been unsuccessful so far.
Charlie,
From my recent interactions on this list and experiences gained, I
feel I could offer some helpful hints...
Your situation is similar to mine in that you have to instruct
Cherokee to separate processing per each directory, but you can also use
that which my situation didn't need-- hostname matching.
So (and this could be a test to see if I appropriately understand
Cherokee's functionality flow), I'd suggest the following:
- Create a Virtual Server (I'll call it "alt.domain.net")
- For the "alt.domain.net" virtual server, you can set the Host
Match criteria (by ip, hostname, wildcard, whatever) to alt.domain.net
(that which it will be called by from clients).
- From there, under Behavior, you'll want the following rules
(again, for the "alt" virtual server):
- make a Directory rule for /blog (/blog is the "Web
Directory"), "List and Send" handler... set the Document root here to
that which contains the /blog content.
- repeat (Directory rule), but this time for /code.
These two rules will identify the directory requested and reassign the
docroot. If you wish to perform additional processing AFTER this
identification has taken place, you'll want these to be "non-final" rules.
In my case, my rule order (from top to bottom, final unless otherwise
noted) is as follows:
- Extensions PHP (non-final)
- Directory /about
- Directory /cgi-bin
- Directory /cherokee_themes
- Directory /icons
- Directory /random_stuff
- Directory /info
- Directory /downloads
- Directory /wiki (non-final)
- Directory /wiki2 (non-final)
- Directory /lib OR Path /favicon.ico (for dokuwiki processing)
- Default (contains redirection rules for dokuwiki url rewriting)
Although my situation is not working 100% (my regex don't seem to be
matching, so url rewriting is not working), I can successfully query
either wiki (and the other directories)... so I know that proper
selection is taking place.
Is it possible to have host match key on subdirectories or does host
match only look at the part of the URL that exists before the first `/` ?
The result of my explorations and conversations has been "no, not
subdirectories"... the host match is applied to virtual servers, which
is against name only, and not any content-- so only what comes before
the first '/'.
Hope that helps.
-Matthew
