Apache Alias subfolder and starting with dot
- by MauricioOtta
I have a multi purpose server running ArchLinux that currently serves multiple virtual hosts from
/var/www/domains/EXAMPLE.COM/html
/var/www/domains/EXAMPLE2.COM/html
I deploy those websites (mostly using Kohana framework) using a Jenkins job by checking out the project, removes the .git folder and ssh-copy the tar.gz to /var/www/domains/ on the server and untars it.
Since I don't want to have to re-install phpMyAdmin after each deploy, I decided to use an alias.
I would like the alias to be something like /.tools/phpMyAdmin/ so I could have more "tools" later if I wanted to.
I have tried just changing the default httpd-phpmyadmin.conf that was installed by following the official WIKI:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Phpmyadmin
Alias /.tools/phpMyAdmin/ "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymlinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/:/tmp/:/usr/share/webapps/:/etc/webapps:/usr/share/pear/"
</Directory>
Changing only that, doesn't seem to work with my current setup on the server, and apache forwards the request to the framework which 404s (as there's no route to handle /.tools/phpAdmin).
I have Mass Virtual hosting enable and setup like this:
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:8000
# get the server name from the Host: header
UseCanonicalName On
# splittable logs
LogFormat "%{Host}i %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" vcommon
CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon
<Directory /var/www/domains>
# ExecCGI is needed here because we can't force
# CGI execution in the way that ScriptAlias does
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
# a ServerName derived from a Host: header may be any case at all
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
## deal with normal documents first:
# allow Alias /icons/ to work - repeat for other aliases
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/icons/
# allow CGIs to work
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/
# do the magic
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^(www\.|)(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /var/www/domains/${lowercase:%2}/html/$1
## and now deal with CGIs - we have to force a MIME type
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/cgi-bin/
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /var/www/domains/${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}}/cgi-bin/$1 [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]
There is also nginx running on this server on port 80 as a reverse proxy for Apache:
location ~ \.php$ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
Everything else was setup by following the official WIKI so I don't think those would cause trouble.
Do I need to have the alias for phpMyAdmin setup along the mass virtual hosting or can it be in a separate include file for that alias to work?
