Hi people, this is my first post in the forum.
I maintain my VPS, which serves as a web server. It runs Apache 2.4 and in httpd.conf I have these directives (in that order):
| Code: | Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/*.conf
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf |
Inside /etc/apache2/modules.d/ there's a conf file with this content:
| Code: | <IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month"
</IfModule> |
Inside /etc/apache2/vhosts.d, there's a vhost configuration file, where I have:
| Code: | <VirtualHost *:443>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
<LocationMatch "^/(piwik|matomo)\.js$">
ExpiresDefault "access plus 5 days"
</LocationMatch>
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost> |
Now, when I access piwik.js or matomo.js, it should return a expiring date 5 days later from the accessing time, however it returns a month later.
Why doesn't this LocationMatch directive work and the generic ExpiresByType directive takes precedence? If I change the ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 month" line to ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 1 week", I see that the expiring date is a week later. Shouldn't the LocationMatch directive work and return a small expiring date for these two javascript files? |

ExpiresDefault Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
in other words: it does not work with LocationMatch. You rather use Directory |
