Topic: virtualhost to only one directory

[phil1234]

hello,

I have set a virtualhost to the root of /var/www
because if I set it to a subfolder where my app is located, then the app does not find its js/css/images anymore


but as there are other dirs in /var/www, I only want to allow access to /ExternalApp/index.php for that virtual host

is it possible ?

//--------------------------- main site
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.mysite.com
ServerAlias mysite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite/
</VirtualHost>

//---------------------------- external app
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName externalapp.mysite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/ <---- need this otherwise I get 404s

<Directory /ExternalApp>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from All
</Directory>

<Directory />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>


I use apache2

thanks

Can you tell us where ExternalApp/index.php is located in /var/www ?

[phil1234]

in /var/www/ExternalApp

[James Blond]

The easiest solution would be to put an empty index files in the /var/www directory. If you want to disallow that by config you would have to create rules for each sub folder that shall be allowed.

[phil1234]

so I create a .htaccess file in each subfolder
but is there a way to only allow one or two files to be acessed ?

/SomeApp/index.php
/SomeApp/data.php

You can Deny everything and allow by Location aka URL
