7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna <p>The directives contained in this module allow for manipulation

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna and control of URLs as requests arrive at the server. The

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna <directive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive> and <directive

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna module="mod_alias">ScriptAlias</directive> directives are used to

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna map between URLs and filesystem paths. This allows for content

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna which is not directly under the <directive

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna document tree. The <directive

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna module="mod_alias">ScriptAlias</directive> directive has the

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna additional effect of marking the target directory as containing

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna only CGI scripts.</p>

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna directives are used to instruct clients to make a new request with

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna a different URL. They are often used when a resource has moved to

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna a new location.</p>

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna <p><module>mod_alias</module> is designed to handle simple URL

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna <p>Aliases and Redirects occuring in different contexts are processed

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna Aliases or Redirects occur in the same context (for example, in the

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna same <directive type="section" module="core">VirtualHost</directive>

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna <p>First, all Redirects are processed before Aliases are processed,

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna and therefore a request that matches a <directive

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna module="mod_alias">Redirect</directive> or <directive

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna module="mod_alias">RedirectMatch</directive> will never have Aliases

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna applied. Second, the Aliases and Redirects are processed in the order

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna they appear in the configuration files, with the first match taking

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna precedence.</p>

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna <p>For this reason, when two or more of these directives apply to the

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna same sub-path, you must list the most specific path first in order for

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna all the directives to have an effect. For example, the following

7e8f5c6496b3825b6b128e2aacc4b1b09d28553dpquerna configuration will work as expected:</p>

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive <example>

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive <p>But if the above two directives were reversed in order, the

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive <code>/foo</code> <directive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive>

18b4b0fd6056093002ddef488636bf5ebe415ef0erikabele would always match before the <code>/foo/bar</code> <directive

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive>, so the latter directive would be

b12b918ae6baf9c5762ed61b7393d0e2198378c0nd <p>The <directive>ScriptAlias</directive> directive has the same

b12b918ae6baf9c5762ed61b7393d0e2198378c0nd behavior as the <directive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive>

b12b918ae6baf9c5762ed61b7393d0e2198378c0nd directive, except that in addition it marks the target directory

10673857794a4b3d9568ca2d983722a87ed352f1rbowen as containing CGI scripts that will be processed by <module

10673857794a4b3d9568ca2d983722a87ed352f1rbowen >mod_cgi</module>'s cgi-script handler. URLs with a case-sensitive

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive (%-decoded) path beginning with <var>URL-path</var> will be mapped

fb77c505254b6e9c925e23e734463e87574f8f40kess to scripts beginning with the second argument, which is a full

fb77c505254b6e9c925e23e734463e87574f8f40kess pathname in the local filesystem.</p>

fb77c505254b6e9c925e23e734463e87574f8f40kess <p>A request for <code>http://myserver/cgi-bin/foo</code> would cause the

a7f40ca49262952d6dd69d021cf5b0c2b452ae4cnd is essentially equivalent to:</p>

9ed9eaf871c58d281af02e76125ceadb5060afa5nd <p><directive>ScriptAlias</directive> can also be used in conjunction with

313bb560bc5c323cfd40c9cad7335b4b8e060aedkess a script or handler you have. For example:</p>

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive

1f53e295ebd19aed1767d12da7abfab9936c148cjerenkrantz <example>

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive handled by the file you have configured, this allows you to use your own custom

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive handler. You may want to use this as a wrapper for CGI so that you can add

80c4526970a11f37c0f8e3b82afdf03902dac3f3slive content, or some other bespoke action.</p>
