RE: [WEB400] Passing multiple IFS directories

["Flaker, Jeff" <JFlaker@xxxxxxx>]

Try adjusting the authority of user QTMHHTP1.  QTMHHTTP is the user
running the server, but the dirty work is done by QTMHHTP1.

Matt,

Simply using Alias as you indicated caused me to lose access to the
sub-folders.

What does work however is the positioning as you mentioned.  Now that I
have /documents first, I'm now getting a 403 Forbidden.  If I move it
after the WebPages, as you said, it matches on the first and doesn't
proceed.

Now I have to figure out why I'm getting the 403.  QTMHHTTP has read
authority to the folder but not the items within the folder.  Items are
added to the folder via an FTP process from a particular user profile.
Is there a way such that when an item is added to a folder (in this case
via an FTP PUT), that other users could also be granted authority
automatically or can the QTMHHTTP user profile be granted authority to
also have authority automatically to objects owned by the other profile?

Mike,

You don't need the AliasMatch's. Alias is the better choice for what
you're trying to do (AliasMatch uses regular expressions which adds
extra load to your server and since you're allowing everything, it's
just extra work with no benefit). Here's an example that should work:

Alias /documents /DocImage
Alias / /WebPages

<Directory /WebPages/>
   Allow From all
</Directory>
<Directory /DocImage/>
   Allow From all
</Directory>

If you'll notice, the Alias for "documents" is first. This is because
the server stops searching Alias' after if finds the first one that
satisfies the request. When you had it the other way around, it was
matching on / first.

An alternative to having the second Alias and Directory would be to
create a symbolic link via the ADDLNK command from WebPages to DocImage.
I think you'll need to set an option (either server level or in the
Directory) to follow symbolic links. Take a look at the documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org (make sure you look at the version 2 docs) for
more information on doing this.

This one should be a no-brainer for someone out there.

 

I've got 2 folders in my IFS I'm trying to serve via my Apache
implementation.  The first is a folder called WebPages and it contains a
number of sub-folders which all seem to serve just fine.  For example I
can say this in my web page <Img src="/images/photos/3362.JPG"> and the
image file located in WebPages/images/photos is served.

 

Below are the 2 directives I have in my config file for this folder.

 

<Directory /WebPages/>

   Allow From all

</Directory>

 

AliasMatch ^/(.*) /WebPages/$1

 

 

 

 

Now I have a second IFS folder that I'm trying to serve.  On the IFS,
it's actually called DocImage.  Below is what I added to my config file
for this folder.

 

<Directory /DocImage/>

   Allow From all

</Directory>

 

AliasMatch ^/documents/(.*) /DocImage/$1

 

 

My problem is however I cannot seem to reference items in the DocImage
folder.  I'd like to be able to say
http://1.2.3.4/documents/document1.pdf
but all I get is a 404 File not found

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.
