Re: Apache AliasMatch

From: Jon Paris

For example - I want to match myserver/jonspgm to qsys.lib/jons.lib/jonspgm.pgm

See this is where I get confused. From the Apache docs I thought that
if I added the trailing $ then I was saying "followed by anything"
and that would have produced the result I am seeing.

The $ matches end of line. If there is anything after /jonspgm then using $ will not match, and thus not replace with the alias.

Can you provide examples of the URI you expect to have matched? Kevin's first example above matches what I sent this morning. The second example is getting closer to what might be useful if you need to match with something else after /jonspgm in the URI, but it would not include the $ and would need more depending on your goal.
