How to enable rewrite module for all subfolders

mod-rewrite

I want to enable rewriting for all websites on my server.

Instead of having to add for each website

<Directory /var/www/mywebsite1>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/mywebsite2>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

...

Can I just write something like

<Directory /var/www/*>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

to specify I want rewrite enable on all subfolders ?

thanks

I believe that the following question answered here on ServerFault will answer your question:

Apache: Using same Directory directive for multiple virtual hosts

Short version is, yes, you can generally place a Directory directive outside of your VirtualHosts containers so that it will be applicable to all VirtualHosts.

You almost did it!!

You forgot the "%" !!

And ^(.*)$ alone is the same as (.*) so here's what should work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond  %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -f
RewriteRule  (.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1  [L]  
RewriteCond  %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/main2/%{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -f
RewriteRule  (.*) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/main2/$1  [L]

Tell me if it works ;)

Doing two rewrites with apache and rewrite module together with webdav

The problem is here:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sharedfolders/${usergroup:%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}}$1

What you're doing is catching the directory used in the URL, storing it in $1, and then appending $1 to the end of the line. If you don't what that part of the URL appended, just remove the $1 at the end.

To stop the rewrite after the sharedfolders rule, add the flag [L] to the end.

So the rule should end up looking like this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sharedfolders/${usergroup:%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}} [L]
