| <h3>Summary</h3> |
| |
| <p>The directives contained in this module allow for manipulation |
| and control of URLs as requests arrive at the server. The |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> directives are used to |
| map between URLs and filesystem paths. This allows for content |
| which is not directly under the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> served as part of the web |
| document tree. The <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> directive has the |
| additional effect of marking the target directory as containing |
| only CGI scripts.</p> |
| |
| <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="#redirect">Redirect</a></code> |
| directives are used to instruct clients to make a new request with |
| a different URL. They are often used when a resource has moved to |
| a new location.</p> |
| |
| <p>When the <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code>, |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> and |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#redirect">Redirect</a></code> directives are used |
| within a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> |
| or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#locationmatch"><LocationMatch></a></code> |
| section, <a href="../expr.html">expression syntax</a> can be used |
| to manipulate the destination path or URL. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html">mod_alias</a></code> is designed to handle simple URL |
| manipulation tasks. For more complicated tasks such as |
| manipulating the query string, use the tools provided by |
| <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>.</p> |

| <h2><a name="order" id="order">Order of Processing</a></h2> |
| |
| <p>Aliases and Redirects occurring in different contexts are processed |
| like other directives according to standard <a href="../sections.html#mergin">merging rules</a>. But when multiple |
| Aliases or Redirects occur in the same context (for example, in the |
| same <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#virtualhost"><VirtualHost></a></code> |
| section) they are processed in a particular order.</p> |
| |
| <p>First, all Redirects are processed before Aliases are processed, |
| and therefore a request that matches a <code class="directive"><a href="#redirect">Redirect</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="#redirectmatch">RedirectMatch</a></code> will never have Aliases |
| applied. Second, the Aliases and Redirects are processed in the order |
| they appear in the configuration files, with the first match taking |
| precedence.</p> |
| |
| <p>For this reason, when two or more of these directives apply to the |
| same sub-path, you must list the most specific path first in order for |
| all the directives to have an effect. For example, the following |
| configuration will work as expected:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Alias "/foo/bar" "/baz" |
| Alias "/foo" "/gaq"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>But if the above two directives were reversed in order, the |
| <code>/foo</code> <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> |
| would always match before the <code>/foo/bar</code> <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code>, so the latter directive would be |
| ignored.</p> |
| |
| <p>When the <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code>, |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> and |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#redirect">Redirect</a></code> directives are used |
| within a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> |
| or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#locationmatch"><LocationMatch></a></code> |
| section, these directives will take precedence over any globally |
| defined <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code>, |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> and |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#redirect">Redirect</a></code> directives.</p> |

| |
| <p>The <code class="directive">Alias</code> directive allows documents to |
| be stored in the local filesystem other than under the |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code>. URLs with a |
| (%-decoded) path beginning with <var>URL-path</var> will be mapped |
| to local files beginning with <var>directory-path</var>. The |
| <var>URL-path</var> is case-sensitive, even on case-insensitive |
| file systems.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Alias "/image" "/ftp/pub/image"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>A request for <code>http://example.com/image/foo.gif</code> would cause |
| the server to return the file <code>/ftp/pub/image/foo.gif</code>. Only |
| complete path segments are matched, so the above alias would not match a |
| request for <code>http://example.com/imagefoo.gif</code>. For more complex |
| matching using regular expressions, see the <code class="directive"><a href="#aliasmatch">AliasMatch</a></code> directive.</p> |
| |
| <p>Note that if you include a trailing / on the |
| <var>URL-path</var> then the server will require a trailing / in |
| order to expand the alias. That is, if you use</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Alias "/icons/" "/usr/local/apache/icons/"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>then the URL <code>/icons</code> will not be aliased, as it lacks |
| that trailing /. Likewise, if you omit the slash on the |
| <var>URL-path</var> then you must also omit it from the |
| <var>file-path</var>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Note that you may need to specify additional <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code> sections which |
| cover the <em>destination</em> of aliases. Aliasing occurs before |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code> sections |
| are checked, so only the destination of aliases are affected. |
| (Note however <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> |
| sections are run through once before aliases are performed, so |
| they will apply.)</p> |
| |
| <p>In particular, if you are creating an <code>Alias</code> to a |
| directory outside of your <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code>, you may need to explicitly |
| permit access to the target directory.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Alias "/image" "/ftp/pub/image" |
| <Directory "/ftp/pub/image"> |
| Require all granted |
| </Directory></pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>Any number slashes in the <var>URL-path</var> parameter |
| matches any number of slashes in the requested URL-path.</p> |
| |
| <p>If the <code class="directive">Alias</code> directive is used within a |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> |
| or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#locationmatch"><LocationMatch></a></code> |
| section the URL-path is omitted, and the file-path is interpreted |
| using <a href="../expr.html">expression syntax</a>.<br /> |
| This syntax is available in Apache 2.4.19 and later.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Location "/image"> |
| Alias "/ftp/pub/image" |

| <p>This directive is equivalent to <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code>, but makes use of |
| <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#regex" title="see glossary">regular expressions</a>, |
| instead of simple prefix matching. The |
| supplied regular expression is matched against the URL-path, and |
| if it matches, the server will substitute any parenthesized |
| matches into the given string and use it as a filename. For |
| example, to activate the <code>/icons</code> directory, one might |
| use:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AliasMatch "^/icons(/|$)(.*)" "/usr/local/apache/icons$1$2"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>The full range of <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#regex" title="see glossary">regular expression</a> |
| power is available. For example, |
| it is possible to construct an alias with case-insensitive |
| matching of the URL-path:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AliasMatch "(?i)^/image(.*)" "/ftp/pub/image$1"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>One subtle difference |
| between <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> |
| and <code class="directive"><a href="#aliasmatch">AliasMatch</a></code> is |
| that <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> will |
| automatically copy any additional part of the URI, past the part |
| that matched, onto the end of the file path on the right side, |
| while <code class="directive"><a href="#aliasmatch">AliasMatch</a></code> will |
| not. This means that in almost all cases, you will want the |
| regular expression to match the entire request URI from beginning |
| to end, and to use substitution on the right side.</p> |
| |
| <p>In other words, just changing |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> to |
| <code class="directive"><a href="#aliasmatch">AliasMatch</a></code> will not |
| have the same effect. At a minimum, you need to |
| add <code>^</code> to the beginning of the regular expression |
| and add <code>(.*)$</code> to the end, and add <code>$1</code> to |
| the end of the replacement.</p> |
| |
| <p>For example, suppose you want to replace this with AliasMatch:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Alias "/image/" "/ftp/pub/image/"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>This is NOT equivalent - don't do this! This will send all |
| requests that have /image/ anywhere in them to /ftp/pub/image/:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AliasMatch "/image/" "/ftp/pub/image/"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>This is what you need to get the same effect:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AliasMatch "^/image/(.*)$" "/ftp/pub/image/$1"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>Of course, there's no point in |
| using <code class="directive"><a href="#aliasmatch">AliasMatch</a></code> |
| where <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> would |
| work. <code class="directive"><a href="#aliasmatch">AliasMatch</a></code> lets |
| you do more complicated things. For example, you could |
| serve different kinds of files from different directories:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AliasMatch "^/image/(.*)\.jpg$" "/files/jpg.images/$1.jpg" |
| AliasMatch "^/image/(.*)\.gif$" "/files/gif.images/$1.gif"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>Multiple leading slashes in the requested URL are discarded |
| by the server before directives from this module compares |
| against the requested URL-path. |

| <p>The <code class="directive">Redirect</code> directive maps an old URL into a new one by asking |
| the client to refetch the resource at the new location.</p> |
| |
| <p>The old <em>URL-path</em> is a case-sensitive (%-decoded) path |
| beginning with a slash. A relative path is not allowed.</p> |
| |
| <p>The new <em>URL</em> may be either an absolute URL beginning |
| with a scheme and hostname, or a URL-path beginning with a slash. |
| In this latter case the scheme and hostname of the current server will |
| be added.</p> |
| |
| <p>Then any request beginning with <em>URL-path</em> will return a |
| redirect request to the client at the location of the target |
| <em>URL</em>. Additional path information beyond the matched |
| <em>URL-path</em> will be appended to the target URL.</p> |

| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>permanent</dt> |
| |
| <dd>Returns a permanent redirect status (301) indicating that |
| the resource has moved permanently.</dd> |

| <p>The <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> directive has the same |
| behavior as the <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> |
| directive, except that in addition it marks the target directory |
| as containing CGI scripts that will be processed by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code>'s cgi-script handler. URLs with a case-sensitive |
| (%-decoded) path beginning with <var>URL-path</var> will be mapped |
| to scripts beginning with the second argument, which is a full |
| pathname in the local filesystem.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" "/web/cgi-bin/"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>A request for <code>http://example.com/cgi-bin/foo</code> would cause the |
| server to run the script <code>/web/cgi-bin/foo</code>. This configuration |
| is essentially equivalent to:</p> |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Alias "/cgi-bin/" "/web/cgi-bin/" |
| <Location "/cgi-bin"> |
| SetHandler cgi-script |
| Options +ExecCGI |
| </Location></pre> |
| |
| |
| <p><code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> can also be used in conjunction with |
| a script or handler you have. For example:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" "/web/cgi-handler.pl"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>In this scenario all files requested in <code>/cgi-bin/</code> will be |
| handled by the file you have configured, this allows you to use your own custom |
| handler. You may want to use this as a wrapper for CGI so that you can add |
| content, or some other bespoke action.</p> |
| |
| <div class="warning">It is safer to avoid placing CGI scripts under the |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> in order to |
| avoid accidentally revealing their source code if the |
| configuration is ever changed. The |
| <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> makes this easy by mapping a |
| URL and designating CGI scripts at the same time. If you do |
| choose to place your CGI scripts in a directory already |
| accessible from the web, do not use |
| <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code>. Instead, use <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#options">Options</a></code> as in: |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cgi-bin"> |
| SetHandler cgi-script |
| Options ExecCGI |
| </Directory></pre> |
| |
| This is necessary since multiple <var>URL-paths</var> can map |
| to the same filesystem location, potentially bypassing the |
| <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> and revealing the source code |
| of the CGI scripts if they are not restricted by a |
| <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">Directory</a></code> section.</div> |
| |
| <p>If the <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> directive is used within |
| a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> |
| or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#locationmatch"><LocationMatch></a></code> |
| section with the URL-path omitted, then the URL parameter will be |
| interpreted using <a href="../expr.html">expression syntax</a>.<br /> |
| This syntax is available in Apache 2.4.19 and later.</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Location "/cgi-bin"> |
| ScriptAlias "/web/cgi-bin/" |

| <p>This directive is equivalent to <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code>, but makes use of |
| <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#regex" title="see glossary">regular expressions</a>, |
| instead of simple prefix matching. The |
| supplied regular expression is matched against the URL-path, |
| and if it matches, the server will substitute any parenthesized |
| matches into the given string and use it as a filename. For |
| example, to activate the standard <code>/cgi-bin</code>, one |
| might use:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ScriptAliasMatch "^/cgi-bin(.*)" "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin$1"</pre> |
| |
| |
| <p>As for AliasMatch, the full range of <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#rexex" title="see glossary">regular |
| expression</a> power is available. |
| For example, it is possible to construct an alias with case-insensitive |
| matching of the URL-path:</p> |
| |
| <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ScriptAliasMatch "(?i)^/cgi-bin(.*)" "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin$1"</pre> |
