Hi

Today i was fighting with moving test site version to the production. Developer was preparing the mobile webpage in Angular which requires .htaccess to be placed in DocumetRoot directory :

Code:
DirectoryIndex index.html

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?(.*) /mobile/index.html


As i don't like .htaccess files i proposed to move this configuration to httpd.conf :

Code:
<Location /mobile>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?(.*) /mobile/index.html
</Location>

"DirectoryIndex index.html" line had been removed from Location block


After placing the .htaccess content to Location block it stopped working as expected. What is the reason ?

Location does not work inside .htaccess files see docs [1] for that.

You need a second rewrite rule with the condition of the mobile location.



Maybe you can use the If statement

Code:

<If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ /mobile/">
    RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?(.*) /mobile/index.html
</If>


but why ? ([^/]+)/?(.*)
[2]



Why not ^/mobile/(.*)

I didn't put the Location block to .htacces but opposite, .htaccess file's content to httpd.conf within Location block.

Then you might try RewriteBase[1]




Code:

<Location /mobile>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mobile
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.html [QSA,L]
</Location>




[1] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase

Quote:
The RewriteBase directive specifies the URL prefix to be used for per-directory (htaccess) RewriteRule directives that substitute a relative path.
