Apache – Using Same Directory Directive for Multiple Virtual Hosts

apache-2.2virtualhost

Here's a sample VirtualHost entry

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName domain.com
  ErrorLog logs/domain.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/domain.com-access_log common
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/srs/web"
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  Alias /sf /usr/share/pear/data/symfony/web/sf
  <Directory "/usr/share/pear/data/symfony/web/sf">
    AllowOverride All
    Allow from All
  </Directory>
  <Directory "/var/www/srs/web">
    AllowOverride All
    Allow from All
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Now, I have 6 other domains to setup this way. They will all share a single DcoumentRoot, so the only thing I need to setup that's unique per domain is the ServerName and *Log values. Since I'm mostly a copy-paster when it comes to this kind of stuff, what I'm prepared to do is just copy this block 6 times and change the bits I need to.

So, can I at least pull out the Directory entries and globalize them somehow?

Pull your Directory stanzas outside of your VirtualHost containers and it should do what you want.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName domain.com
  ErrorLog logs/domain.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/domain.com-access_log common
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/srs/web"
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  Alias /sf /usr/share/pear/data/symfony/web/sf
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName domain2.com
  ErrorLog logs/domain2.com-error_log
  CustomLog logs/domain2.com-access_log common
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/srs/web"
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  Alias /sf /usr/share/pear/data/symfony/web/sf
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "/usr/share/pear/data/symfony/web/sf">
  AllowOverride All
  Allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/srs/web">
  AllowOverride All
  Allow from All
</Directory>

Centos – WebDAV on CentOS – getting 403 error when attempt to upload

I recently struggled with the same problem on my Fedora 10 system. In my case the culprit was some odd redirection that I was doing in Apache. Specifically, I use a content management system (Drupal, to be exact) that within it's .htaccess includes the following redirection logic to redirect missing files to a PHP script:

# Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

It makes sense that the above only affects the PUT method since in that case REQUEST_FILENAME does not exist.

Not having the WebDAV area inside of the Drupal area, which seems like a reasonable constraint, fixes the problem.

Also, I think it is likely that SELinux would result in a different error, but it's not mentioned in the discussion above. Did you try disabling SELinux?
