Re: Apache website conversion from alias to virtualhost

[Thomas WILLIAMSON <t-williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

@Tom Browder: it seems to be a Symfony and SSO issue. Our developers team is facing issues when accessing simultaneously to different applications hosted on the server (in different tabs in the same browser). Symfony is basing SSO authentication on the domain name and URLs such as mydomain.fr/application1 and mydomain.fr/application2 are interpreted as being from the same domain (contrarily to URLs such as application1.mydomain.fr and application2.mydomain.fr). I do not know Symfony and I can't give you any more details on their problematic.

Hope it helps you to understand the need,

Thomas

Hello,

I have to take over an internal Web server that has been configured by a colleague who is no longer there. Our developers team asks me to convert applications URLs from an Alias to a Virtualhosts (subdomain naming) system. For instance:

https://srv-intra.mydomain.fr/basecolldev

should become

https://basecolldev.mydomain.fr

I am curious as to why they think there is a need for a change since the alias can handle the desired name format. And the alias should be much easier to maintain.
