<Location> not supported?

[zarrelli]

Hi,

I need to set up some configuration for an url, using the <Location> directive. I add the directives in the "Add directive" box in the admin panel, but in the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf I find them commented out as not supported. Here the relevant section stripped of personal data:


######################################

</VirtualHost>

Well, if I remove the # and restart apache...simply the <location> directive works perfectly but at the next change in the admin panel, all the <location> directive gets commented.

If it works, it is supported. And on another server I used this block of instructions for years without any problems.

I know I can move all to apache.con file, but I would like to keep everything in the vhost file.

Thanks

What's the output of

httpd -t

when you remove the comments from

# <Location /my/location> # NOT SUPPORTED!
# DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm # NOT SUPPORTED!
# Options +Indexes # NOT SUPPORTED!
# IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks SuppressHTMLPreamble NameWidth=* # NOT SUPPORTED!
# IndexIgnore HEADER* banner.gif favicon.ico # NOT SUPPORTED!
# AddIcon favicon.ico *myfile*.zip # NOT SUPPORTED!
# AllowOverride None
# </Location>

?

Here it is:

httpd -t
Syntax OK

But not only httpd -t gives me an ok, but If I go to the location, it behaves according to the instructions I gave in the <location> block. So, it works for sure on the system managed by ispconfig even though ispconfig comments.

Thats strange, as ISPConfig aclls httd -t to check the syntax. If you want to disable the syntay check, change the line:

$go_info["server"]["httpd_check"] = 1;

to:

$go_info["server"]["httpd_check"] = 0;

in the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

I have not such a line there:

homeland:~# egrep -R httpd_check *
grep: blog/wp-content/advanced-cache.php: No such file or directory
ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php:exec("ps ax | grep httpd | grep -v ispconfig | grep -v grep", $httpd_check, $ret_val1);
ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php:unset($httpd_check);
homeland:~#

and:

homeland:/home/admispconfig# egrep -R httpd_check *
homeland:/home/admispconfig#

I never touched

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php

A question:

does this happens just to me or someone else is able to cause the same behaviour adding a <location> directive?

Till made an error, this option doesn't exist in ISPConfig. However, you could change the function httpd_syntax_check() in /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php.

I have this same problem. Has anyone found a good fix for this?
I added a line in apache.conf

Include /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_myaddons.conf

and then in the Vhost_myaddons.conf I added

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
 <Location /mylocation>
#options for mylocation
 </Location>
 <LocationMatch '/[^/]+/login'>
#options for authentication
 </LocationMatch>
ServerName subdomain.domain.tld:80
</VirtualHost>

It works, but it would be kinda nice to have it editable in the ISPConfig Control Panel.

Just wondering,
Thanks,
Dan

This doesn't work without modifying the ISPConfig sources.
