Hi,
it seems the Eclipse Babel instance uses .htaccess files or does
rewrites from the Apache config file.
Would it be ok to share those files or the conditional rules on the
Babel server development wiki page ?
Thanks,
Antoine

The server's base.conf is outside of the DocumentRoot, so it is not
accessible.
DocumentRoot = /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/html/
base.conf = /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/base.conf
We also disable Indexes so you can't get a listing of files in directories
<Directory "/home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/html/">
Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks
You get good performance gains by specifying AllowOverride None (thus
disabling .htaccess files), in that Apache does not crawl the directory
tree looking for .htaccess files.

Antoine, what makes you say we use rewrites? One thing I absolutely
*detest* is apps that use all kinds of clumsy and obscure rewrites just
to make URLs pretty.
Here are the relevant portions of the babel.eclipse.org Apache config.
As you'll see, we have AllowOverride None, so no .htaccess is used.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@eclipse.org
ServerName babel.eclipse.org
DocumentRoot /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/html/
<Directory "/home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/html/">
Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /babel /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/babel/html
<Directory /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/babel/html>
Options FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect logins to https
RewriteRule ^/babel/login.php https://%{SERVER_NAME}/babel/login.php
</VirtualHost>
The base http://babel.eclipse.org is forwarded to
http://babel.eclipse.org/babel via index.php at the DocumentRoot:

Sorry, that sounds a bit dry :-) What I meant was, what problem are
you encountering to consider rewrites an issue?

No problem, I'm just looking for an elegant way to hide base.conf.
If it was just me, I would move it to /etc.
When trying to type its URL on babel, I get a 404, so either there is a
rewrite rule here, or you moved base.conf.
and how do you hide folder pages (for example someone trying this trick:
http://babel.eclipse.org/babel/js) ?
That might be really basic knowledge.
Thanks,
Antoine

Thank you, that was the info I was after.

Denis, I think this info is missing from the wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Babel_/_Server_Tool_Development_Proc ess
In particular the page says:
Alias /babel "/var/www/babel/server/html/"
<Directory "/var/www/babel/server/html/">
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
But since it is the documentRoot, why go about defining an alias ?
I think that's what threw me off, I have no good knowledge of Apache and
wouldn't have been too sure where to place the DocumentRoot.
Thanks,
Antoine
