Using <VirtualHost> over .htaccess for mod_rewrite
- by DarkWolffe
I have a LAMP stack installed on Ubuntu 12.10 with three sites created under /etc/apache2/sites-available, all of which are working. My problem lies in wanting to use those files over .htaccess for appending the .php file extension from the URL. My file currently stands as such:
# The VGC
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName thevgc.net
ServerAlias www.thevgc.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/www/>
Options Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews Includes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I'm almost certain I'm doing something wrong. All I know is that my .htaccess files refused to append the extension, or rather find the file that has the same name and load that file, so I wanted to go about this method.
Any suggestions? Here is an example page from my site.
