Bug ID: 66558
Summary: Undocumented "Absolute Path" requirement for
mod_vhost_alias directives
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.46
Hardware: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mod_vhost_alias
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

What happens when "sites/%p/%0" is used (e.g. with intent for
"sites/443/example.com")
The current behaviour of the mod_vhost_alias module requires that its
directives require absolute paths, however this requirement is not documented
on the runtime documentation for the module on the httpd website.
| Syntax error on line x of y.conf:
| format string must be an absolute path, or 'none'
Additionally, this introduces portable-installation issues, especially on
Windows builds, and would require manual changes when the installation location
is moved or is run from an ejectable/portable storage medium where the drive
letter could potentially change.
A recommendation for a fix is that the behaviour of the directives in
mod_vhost_alias should allow for relative paths (for example "sites/%p/%0" for
"sites/443/example.com" relative to the server root) or, in-short, be patched
to folow the same validity criteria and make it more compatible with the
DocumentRoot directive in the server's core.
