Hi all.
Can somebody please explain what the difference is between using the
directory directive and the location directive in my apache
httpd.conf file. Also when it is appropriate to use which. The
reason I am asking is, I am trying to get Trac running with Apache
and both Trac & Apache with mod_python installed work fine
independently of one another. I've tested apache, and I've tested
trac with the the stand alone server.
The reason I am asking is trying to get Trac working I am told to put.
<Location "C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/Worldview">
Satisfy all
SetHandler mod_python
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracUriRoot /Worldview
</Location>
But it doesn't seem to work and I am thinking that I could make a
better decision if I fully understood the location directive.
---------------- End original message. ---------------------
Location is for controlling access based on URLs which may or may not
reside on your local file system. Directory is for directories which
are on your local file system. The path shown in the example is
clearly a local file system directory so you should use Directory.
Now while that change is semantically and syntactically correct,
whether the rest of the configuration is correct I have no way to
know as I have never used Trac.
Please see:

and:
