<p>The directives contained in this module allow for manipulation
|
|
and control of URLs as requests arrive at the server. The
|
|
<directive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive> and <directive
|
|
module="mod_alias">ScriptAlias</directive> directives are used to
|
|
map between URLs and filesystem paths. This allows for content
|
|
which is not directly under the <directive
|
|
module="core">DocumentRoot</directive> served as part of the web
|
|
document tree. The <directive
|
|
module="mod_alias">ScriptAlias</directive> directive has the
|
|
additional effect of marking the target directory as containing
|
|
only CGI scripts.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <directive module="mod_alias">Redirect</directive>
|
|
directives are used to instruct clients to make a new request with
|
|
a different URL. They are often used when a resource has moved to
|
|
a new location.</p>

<section id="order"><title>Order of Processing</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>Aliases and Redirects occuring in different contexts are processed
|
|
like other directives according to standard <a
|
|
href="../sections.html#mergin">merging rules</a>. But when multiple
|
|
Aliases or Redirects occur in the same context (for example, in the
|
|
same <directive type="section" module="core">VirtualHost</directive>
|
|
section) they are processed in a particular order.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>First, all Redirects are processed before Aliases are processed,
|
|
and therefore a request that matches a <directive
|
|
module="mod_alias">Redirect</directive> or <directive
|
|
module="mod_alias">RedirectMatch</directive> will never have Aliases
|
|
applied. Second, the Aliases and Redirects are processed in the order
|
|
they appear in the configuration files, with the first match taking
|
|
precedence.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For this reason, when two or more of these directives apply to the
|
|
same sub-path, you must list the most specific path first in order for
|
|
all the directives to have an effect. For example, the following
|
|
configuration will work as expected:</p>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
Alias /foo/bar /baz<br />
|
|
Alias /foo /gaq
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>But if the above two directives were reversed in order, the
|
|
<code>/foo</code> <directive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive>
|
|
would always match before the <code>/foo/bar</code> <directive
|
|
module="mod_alias">Alias</directive>, so the latter directive would be
|
|
ignored.</p>

<usage>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <directive>Alias</directive> directive allows documents to
|
|
be stored in the local filesystem other than under the
|
|
<directive module="core">DocumentRoot</directive>. URLs with a
|
|
(%-decoded) path beginning with <var>url-path</var> will be mapped
|
|
to local files beginning with <var>directory-path</var>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<example><title>Example:</title>
|
|
Alias /image /ftp/pub/image
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>A request for http://myserver/image/foo.gif would cause the
|
|
server to return the file /ftp/pub/image/foo.gif.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that if you include a trailing / on the
|
|
<var>url-path</var> then the server will require a trailing / in
|
|
order to expand the alias. That is, if you use <code>Alias
|
|
/icons/ /usr/local/apache/icons/</code> then the url
|
|
<code>/icons</code> will not be aliased.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that you may need to specify additional <directive
|
|
type="section" module="core">Directory</directive> sections which
|
|
cover the <em>destination</em> of aliases. Aliasing occurs before
|
|
<directive type="section" module="core">Directory</directive> sections
|
|
are checked, so only the destination of aliases are affected.
|
|
(Note however <directive type="section" module="core">Location</directive>
|
|
sections are run through once before aliases are performed, so
|
|
they will apply.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In particular, if you are creating an <code>Alias</code> to a
|
|
directory outside of your <directive
|
|
module="core">DocumentRoot</directive>, you may need to explicitly
|
|
permit access to the target directory.</p>

<p>This directive is equivalent to <directive

if it matches, the server will substitute any parenthesized
|
|
matches into the given string and use it as a filename. For

use:</p>

|
|
<usage>
|
|
<p>The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new one. The
|
|
new URL is returned to the client which attempts to fetch it
|
|
again with the new address. <var>URL-path</var> a (%-decoded)
|
|
path; any requests for documents beginning with this path will
|
|
be returned a redirect error to a new (%-encoded) URL beginning
|
|
with <var>URL</var>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<example><title>Example:</title>
|
|
Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the client requests http://myserver/service/foo.txt, it
|
|
will be told to access http://foo2.bar.com/service/foo.txt
|
|
instead.</p>
|
|
|
|
<note><title>Note</title> <p>Redirect directives take precedence over
|
|
Alias and ScriptAlias directives, irrespective of their ordering in
|
|
the configuration file. Also, <var>URL-path</var> must be a fully
|
|
qualified URL, not a relative path, even when used with .htaccess files or
|
|
inside of <directive type="section" module="core">Directory</directive>
|
|
sections.</p></note>
|
|
|
|
<p>If no <var>status</var> argument is given, the redirect will
|
|
be "temporary" (HTTP status 302). This indicates to the client
|
|
that the resource has moved temporarily. The <var>status</var>
|
|
argument can be used to return other HTTP status codes:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>permanent</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>Returns a permanent redirect status (301) indicating that
|
|
the resource has moved permanently.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>temp</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>Returns a temporary redirect status (302). This is the
|
|
default.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>seeother</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>Returns a "See Other" status (303) indicating that the
|
|
resource has been replaced.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>gone</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>Returns a "Gone" status (410) indicating that the
|
|
resource has been permanently removed. When this status is
|
|
used the <var>URL</var> argument should be omitted.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Other status codes can be returned by giving the numeric
|
|
status code as the value of <var>status</var>. If the status is
|
|
between 300 and 399, the <var>URL</var> argument must be present,
|
|
otherwise it must be omitted. Note that the status must be
|
|
known to the Apache code (see the function
|
|
<code>send_error_response</code> in http_protocol.c).</p>
