Here is hopefully a succinct re-statement of my current problem: I had a website setup and it was working fine using VirtualHost ProxyPass to forward to another port and a server-level Alias+Directory pair to forward all image requests to a concrete, common directory. Now that I've added SSL into the mix, and the Alias never seems to be triggered for that site, though it is for a non-SSL site. My newest question is wondering if it is because there is one VirtualHost *:80 with a RewriteRule with [R,L]. That should be fine since it is forwarding on to the VirtualHost *:443 rules. But again, the Alias isn't getting triggered. I did try replacing [R,L] with variations including PT as mod_rewrite's docs suggest, but saw no changes after restarting Apache2. I also tried moving and copying the Alias w/wo Directory into VirtualHost *:443 and before it, with no change seen. Is there anyway I can have Apache2 and/or it's mods do some painfully detailed logging so I can determine just what logic and what order everything is being processed? I'm down to it being an interaction with SSL but that doesn't make sense to me. Of course there are a couple warnings in the console on Apache2 startup, but nothing in the logs about those problems. - apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName - [Fri Aug...] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts Thanks for ideas on where to look or how to resolve this! -Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
