Re: [users@httpd] Using .htaccess in a front-end/back-end setup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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

close(10)                               = 0

write(8, "127.0.0.1 - - [04/Sep/2006:13:42"..., 100) = 100
