[[TracNav(DocsToc)]] <pre> {{{ #!rst ===== Alias ===== ----------------- Module: mod_alias ----------------- .. meta:: :keywords: lighttpd, alias .. contents:: Table of Contents Description =========== The alias module is used to specify a special document-root for a given url-subset. Options ======= alias.url rewrites the document-root for a URL-subset Default: empty Example: :: alias.url = ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/var/www/servers/www.example.org/cgi-bin/" ) You can add additional aliases by: :: alias.url += ( "/content" => "/var/www/servers/www.somecontent.org/" ) </pre> }}} As trailing slashes are stripped from the url before matching an alias, the alias "/content/ => "/dirtocontent/" will not match the url "/content/"; it matches only something like "/content/somefile" or "/content/somesubdir/". So in most cases you shouldn't use a trailing slash on the left side (but use it on the right side!): "/content" => "/dirtocontent/" [[BR]] Now "/content_x1/" is mapped to "/dirtocontent/_x1", "/content/" -> "/dirtocontent/" and "/content/somefile" -> "/content//somefile" (yes, double slash). If you don't use it on the right side too, "/content_x1/" is mapped to "/dirtocontent_x1", which you probably don't want.
