Re: Using Aliases and SSL

Thanks John for your reply..... Yes I want to alias directories. Basically I have a directory structure n deep and I have to reference common directories, but I don't want to do this relatively (e.g ../.../../TargetDirectory). I want to use absolute

directories using the Alias command/directive (e.g /TargetDirectory) under the SSL environment.

Below is a partial copy from my ssl.conf file minusing the comments and all the ssl stuff. I picked up

an Apache 2.0 book today so .... I'm going to keep trying. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Matt

Do I take it that you mean "ServerAlias"? If you do, then provided the alias name matches the same IP address that your secure host is listening to, it should work. I use it here myself.

If on the other hand you mean the Alias command that aliases directories, I know of no reason why this shouldn't work. Can you post an example please?

Can anybody assist me, in using Aliases with ssl?.

I placed several Alias directives within the ssl.conf file specifically where the virtual host is defined.

This was to help assist in organizing the Apache server. Of course its not working.

Where should I place Alias Directives that need to be included in the ssl area of the server ?

or Does SSL even work with Aliases?

Cheers
