| <H1>Module mod_alias</h1> |
| |
| This module is contained in the <code>mod_alias.c</code> file, and |
| is compiled in by default. It provides for mapping different parts of the |
| host filesystem in the the document tree, and for URL redirection. |

| <A name="alias"><h2>Alias</h2></A> |
| <!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt Alias} directive> --> |
| <strong>Syntax:</strong> Alias <em>url-path directory-filename</em><br> |
| <Strong>Context:</strong> server config, virtual host<br> |
| <strong>Status:</strong> Base<br> |
| <strong>Module:</strong> mod_alias<br> |
| <strong>Compatibility:</strong> Alias is only available in Apache 1.1 |
| and later<p> |
| |
| The Alias directive allows documents to be stored in the local filesystem |
| other than under the <A HREF="core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</A>. |
| URLs with a (%-decoded) path beginning with <em>url-path</em> will be |
| mapped to local files beginning with <em>directory-filename</em>. |
| Example: |
| <blockquote><code>Alias /image /ftp/pub/image</code></blockquote> |
| A request for http://myserver/image/foo.gif would cause the server to |
| return the file /ftp/pub/image/foo.gif.<p> |
| See also <A HREF="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</A>.<p><hr> |
| |
| <A name="redirect"><h2>Redirect</h2></A> |
| <!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt Redirect} directive> --> |
| <strong>Syntax:</strong> Redirect <em>url-path url</em><br> |
| <Strong>Context:</strong> server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess<br> |
| <strong>Status:</strong> Base<br> |
| <strong>Module:</strong> mod_alias<br> |
| <strong>Compatibility:</strong> The directory and .htaccess context's |
| are only available in versions 1.1 and later<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. |
| <em>Url-path</em> a (%-decoded) path; any requests for documents beginning with |
| this path will be returned a redirect error to a new (%-encoded) url |
| beginning with <em>url</em>. Example: |
| <blockquote><code>Redirect /service |
| http://foo2.bar.com/service</code></blockquote> |
| 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: Redirect directives take precedence over Alias and ScriptAlias |
| directives, irrespective of their ordering in the configuration file.<p><hr> |
| |
| <A name="scriptalias"><h2>ScriptAlias</h2></A> |
| <!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt ScriptAlias} directive> --> |
| <strong>Syntax:</strong> ScriptAlias <em>url-path directory-filename</em><br> |
| <Strong>Context:</strong> server config, virtual host<br> |
| <strong>Status:</strong> Base<br> |
| <strong>Module:</strong> mod_alias<br> |
| <strong>Compatibility:</strong> ScriptAlias is only available in Apache 1.1 |
| and later<p> |
| |
| The ScriptAlias directive has the same behaviour as the |
| <A HREF="#alias">Alias</A> directive, except that in addition it |
| marks the target directory as containing CGI scripts. |
| URLs with a (%-decoded) path beginning with <em>url-path</em> will be |
| mapped to scripts beginning with <em>directory-filename</em>. |
| Example: |
| <blockquote><code>ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /web/cgi-bin/</code></blockquote> |
| A request for http://myserver/cgi-bin/foo would cause the server to |
| run the script /web/cgi-bin/foo.<p> |
