This is on: Apache/2.0.55 On a related note, I can't seem to get access control working in my .htaccess files. I'm wondering if my RewriteRule could be confusing things. The .htaccess file contains only these two lines: deny from all Redirect /foo/ls.apache http://apache.org/ "Redirect" in the .htaccess files works, so Apache is reading the file (and can also be seen by the strace output below). $ HEAD -S http://localhost/foo/ls.apache HEAD http://localhost/foo/ls.apache --> 302 Found HEAD http://apache.org/ --> 200 OK But the deny isn't: $ HEAD -S http://localhost/foo/ls.txt HEAD http://localhost/foo/ls.txt --> 200 OK So, I must be missing something obvious about access control. Apache isn't complaining about the "deny from all" in .htaccess so it must be processing that directive ok. My document root is set and I allow overrides: <Directory /> AllowOverride none Allow from none </Directory> Options none Options +FollowSymLinks DocumentRoot /home/moseley/WS2/root <Directory /home/moseley/WS2/root/domains> AllowOverride All </Directory> No other AllowOverride exists in httpd.conf. And note that on my front-end server I have a RewriteRule to prefix the path with "/domains/default": > RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ /domains/default/$1 [last] That is, a request for /foo/ls.txt gets serverd from <docroot>/domains/default/foo/ls.txt I have this directory: $ ls -la /home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/default/foo total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 moseley moseley 35 2006-09-04 13:36 . drwxr-xr-x 7 moseley moseley 4096 2006-09-04 13:14 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 moseley moseley 14 2006-09-04 13:33 .htaccess -rw-r--r-- 1 moseley moseley 336 2006-09-04 13:12 ls.txt Here's the strace those that shows it reading the .htaccess file, although that's obvious because the redirect works. read(9, "HEAD /foo/ls.txt HTTP/1.1\r\nTE: d"..., 8000) = 123 stat64("/domains", 0xbfffe830) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/default/foo/ls.txt", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=336, ...}) = 0 open("/home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/.htaccess", O_RDONLY) = 10 read(10, "Redirect /foobar.html http://bum"..., 4096) = 95 read(10, "", 4096) = 0 close(10) = 0 open("/home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/default/.htaccess", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/default/foo/.htaccess", O_RDONLY) = 10 read(10, "deny from all\nRedirect /foo/ls.a"..., 4096) = 57 open("/home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/default/foo/ls.txt/.htaccess", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) open("/home/moseley/WS2/root/domains/default/foo/ls.txt", O_RDONLY) = 10 writev(9, [{"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nDate: Mon, 04 S"..., 370}], 1) = 370 write(8, "127.0.0.1 - - [04/Sep/2006:13:42"..., 100) = 100 > > # Proxy everything else > RewriteRule (.+) http://127.0.0.1:10080$1 [proxy] > > It's a somewhat confusing setup in that the front-end and back-end > have basically the same document root so in a directory > > <docroot>/foo > index.html - servered by the back end server > foo.pdf - served by the front end server. > > > Of course, now the client want to use .htaccess.
