Description Barry Jackson 2013-11-25 20:56:28 CET

Description of problem:
If /etc/httpd/sites.d/foo.conf contains a ScriptAlias it is ignored because "Include conf/sites.d/*.conf"  is currently at the end of httpd.conf.
The Include needs to be placed before the default ScriptAlias.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html#order

Moving the Include to just before the line:
<IfModule alias_module>
fixes an issue that I have been having with a new release of ZoneMinder that I am working on.
Not sure if there may be other side-effects.

Comment 1 Guillaume Rousse 2013-11-27 09:42:02 CET

Redefining a path already defined previously in the configuration won't work, and this is an expected behaviour. As discussed on IRC, the actual problem is the zoneminder default configuration, not in the file inclusion order in apache configuration.
