Aliasing Overview The [aliases] and [cgi-aliases] sections of the config.ini file allows documents and CGI scripts to be stored in a directory other than the Documents Directory and CGI Directory. URLs with a (%-decoded) paath beginning with url-path will be mapped to local files beginning with directory-path:
[aliases] A request for http://<your machine>/image/foo.gif would cause the server to return the file /pub/image/foo.gif. Note that if you include a trailing slash (/) on the url-path then the server will require a trailing slash in order to expand the alias. For example, if you use the alias:
[aliases] then the URL http://<your machine<>/images will not be aliased. IMPORTANT Aliases and CGI-aliases apply to all virtual hosts of the server. All mapings are compared with the "root" of the URI. So the URI /foo/images/ will not match the alias above. |
