Alternatively can someone who has already done it provide me with an sample :) Of cause what is more annoying is that my web page footer lists the tools I'm using - and a link to the server set-up so if they looked they would know I don't use MySQL! Having started to get everything under control I'm spending a little time each day checking the error log and so anything to strip garbage and just leave the real errors will be useful. I have a couple of other similar AliasMatch entries to create but http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html is going over my head :(http://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut.html would be a better place to start :-)
I've found that one now as well and it's a bit more readable.
The question remains what you want to achieve. Currently all these requests for phpmyadmin get a 404 returned I presume. With a AliasMatch you can have these requests return something else, at the expense of extra work for you and your server. Why would you want that?
It was a simple example.The other bits I want to trap relate to legacy links from a windows server, so the case is somewhat random.
Anyway you could use something like: AliasMatch (?i)^/phpmyadmin /there-is-no-phpmyadmin-here-so-bugger-off.html
That is it exactly. Although I'll probably do a 'get a decent database' page :)
(?i) makes the match case insensitive. ^ anchors your regular expression to the start of the url.
That is the poke I needed. Actually I was making things more complex than they needed to be - thinking down the lines of preg_.. and having to wrap the expression.
The rest is what you want to match, where you don't need to match the whole string, just enough so it's unique. /phpmyadmin will match /PHPMyAdmin, /PHPMyAdmin-someversion etc...
