I have vhost like this structure: /www/some_host/htdocs - doc root /www/some_host/htdocs/usr/user1 - user1 dir /www/some_host/htdocs/usr/user2 - user2 dir /www/some_host/htdocs/usr/user3 - user3 dir ... I use authorization for this vhost, and try restrict every autorized user inside his user dir. User_name correspond with dir_name. I use next simple .htaccess file for my vhost: ======================================= Order Allow,Deny Allow from All AuthType Basic AuthName "Some Secured Area" AuthUserFile /www/some_host/usr.passwd Require valid-user Satisfy All RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} !^$ RewriteRule !^usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ /usr/%{REMOTE_USER}/ [R] ======================================= If user try to get out from own dir, server forcibly redirect him to correct dir. But, this rules don't work, because mod_rewrite not interpolate server variables in pattern (i see this in log file). If i use this rules (rule block for every user, without any server variables), it's work fine: ======================================= RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user1$ RewriteRule !^usr/user1/ /usr/user1/ [R] RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user2$ RewriteRule !^usr/user2/ /usr/user2/ [R] RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user3$ RewriteRule !^usr/user3/ /usr/user3/ [R] ======================================= But, for hundred users i need write minimum two hundreds rules ... ?! Why interpolation inside regex not work??? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
