Re: [cobalt-developers] Viewing a virtual site before domain is resolving correct

[Peter Dickson <peter.dickson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for reply.

Have tried what you said but not understanding AliasMatch/ReWrite etc. I'm
not able to debug!

this is the VirtualHost section for the Cobalt host:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerName cobalthost.my.domain
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /home/sites/home/web
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^cobalthost.my.domain(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://cobalthost.my.domain/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/home/users/$1/web/$3
AliasMatch ^/site/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</VirtualHost>

with your line in as the second AliasMatch.

Can you advise what is incorrect? I'm trying to access the virtual site
with http://cobalthost.my.domain/site/www.newsite.com as per your email.

Should the AliasMatch have gone in VirtualHost section of the virtual site
I want to view?

TVM
