Apache Configuration

Here's some tips on getting Rophako set up on Apache.

mod_fcgid and mod_rewrite

For kirsle.net I needed to set it up using mod_fcgid because my site has a lot of legacy URLs to old static files, so Rophako needs to serve the main website pages and Apache needs to serve everything else.

• Apache configuration:

# Rophako www.kirsle.net
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.kirsle.net
    DocumentRoot /home/kirsle/www
    CustomLog /home/kirsle/logs/access_log combined
    ErrorLog /home/kirsle/logs/error_log
    SuexecUserGroup kirsle kirsle

    <Directory "/home/kirsle/www">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/home/kirsle/www/fcgi">
        SetHandler fcgid-script
        Options +ExecCGI
        AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

• ~/www/.htaccess configuration:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /fcgi/index.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^$ /fcgi/index.fcgi/ [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
