[PHP] Use of auto_prepend_file inside an Apache directory container
Good afternoon, all -
I've had problems with auto_prepend_file off and on for as long as I can
remember. It's hit or miss, and browsing the archives, it looks like
I'm not alone. I've even written to the list on several occasions
looking for a solution, to no avail.
I think that auto_{prepend,append}_file are incredibly useful functions,
but they're crap if they don't work.
Here's the basic setup. From within Apache's config file, here's my
whole VirtualHost container:
VirtualHost 192.168.1.51
DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual
ServerName 192.168.1.51
ErrorLog logs/192.168.1.51-error_log
CustomLog logs/192.168.1.51-access_log combined
#begin dan's protected
directory stuff
Directory /demo/protected
php_value auto_prepend_file /absolute/path/to/file.php
/Directory
/VirtualHost
So, as you can see, nothing completely out of the 'norm. The examples
given in the manual are not all that clear, so by using absolute path
names, I'm just guessing. I have used relative paths as well - same thing.
The auto_prepend_file directive set from within php.ini, is commented
out, as to not overwrite my specification. I've tried leaving that
directive blank, and setting it to something completely different. Same
results.
If you guys wouldn't mind taking a few more minutes to mow over all of
this, I would *greatly* appreciate it.
Thanks

Wow, that example came out really badly. Let's try again:
VirtualHost 192.168.1.51
DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual
ServerName 192.168.1.51
ErrorLog logs/192.168.1.51-error_log
CustomLog logs/192.168.1.51-access_log combined
# begin dan's protected directory stuff
Directory /demo/protected
php_value auto_prepend_file /absolute/path/to/file.php
/Directory
/VirtualHost
Thanks

No script is prepended to the page that I access from within /demo/protected. My prepend script consists of the following line of code: ? echo This is prepended.br /br /; ? Sorry about that.

I'm thinking maybe Apache is messing with the path somehow. Something like: php_value auto_prepend_file /absolute/path/to/file.php Oh, and you probably know this, but make sure AllowOverride is set correctly in your main Apache config file; try setting it to All for debugging this. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene General Manager Album Limited e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: http://www.album.co.nz/ b: http://jbg.name/ p: 0800 4 ALBUM (0800 425 286) or +64 21 232 3303 a: PO Box 579, Christchurch 8015, New Zealand -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks for the help - I have tried putting quotes around the string, as well, and that yields the same results. AllowOverride is set to All.

I believe you want to use Location instead. The Directory path is
never going to be seen since your files are over in /var, and your
prepend is waiting for something in /demo

Hello, Curt -
So a Directory container's specification is never relative to the
DocumentRoot? It's my understanding that it is.

...however, I did heed your advice, and it seemed to work well. Now I'm
a but confused, unfortunately; why would this not work in a Directory
container? I thought that I had used this method in the past, with
great success.
Thanks
