Re: Apache Aliasmatch with wildcard

Jon - your modified directive should be fine - and you can use a different text in the RE - so you could have something that conceals your underlying structure, such as

ScriptAliasMatch /apptext/start(.*) etc.

As I'd mentioned in the other post, I don't know if you need the carat at the start of the pattern, this might amount to the same thing - this is probably an absolute reference to the start of DocumentRoot - others will know better, I'm sure.

Thanks Henrik - I'm familiar with that usage - I though it would apply to ScriptAlias also.

I realize now that when I first tried this syntax it was as part of my screwed up config. I'll try it again and see what happens. I don't want to use the .pgm type notation in the URL but I can't see why it wouldn't work without it. The other thing I need it to do is to accept a partial name - so to modify your example what I'm after is:

ScriptAliasMatch /pextCD2lib/start(.*) /qsys.lib/pextCD2lib.lib/start$1.pgm
