Hello,I've switched to a new debian server with apache 2.2.9 and installed the 'phpgadmin'
tool via a debian package. This copies the php sources outside of /var/www and sets an 'alias ..' directive in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ Now what happens to my surprise is that /phppgadmin is accessible via all my virtual hosts, not just the one (base host) where it is defined. I also decided to serve the tool only via https, so I moved the directive to the SSL part of my config. Simplified, my vhost.conf (included by httpd.conf) looks like this: NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80 <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> ServerName www.onesite.com ServerAlias onesite.com *.onesite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80> ServerName www.twosite.com ServerAlias twosite.com *.twosite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/two/ </VirtualHost> ## SSL ## NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443 <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443> ServerName www.onesite.com ServerAlias onesite.com *.onesite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/ # pgAdmin Alias /phppgadmin /usr/share/phppgadmin/ <Directory /usr/share/phppgadmin/> DirectoryIndex index.php Options +FollowSymLinks </Directory> </VirtualHost> # end vhost.conf So, what works as designed: http://onesite.com http://twosite.com https://onesite.com/phppgadmin What works not and should not work - i.e. throws a 404 error: http://onesite.com/phppgadmin http://twosite.com/phppgadmin What works and should _not_ work: https://twosite.com/phppgadmin It seems that the Alias directive is applied to _all_ hosts, not just the one inside the <VirtualHost .. /> block. From the apache docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_alias.html#alias I read the "context: Virtual host" means it is only effective in the respective host, but maybe I misunderstood this? Any hints how to restrict /phppgadmin on the first domain? / Bernd --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
