I’m trying to use vhost to have all my .htacces rules there. the Include in the httpd.include file on my conf directory is there and nothing happends.

this is the vhost file i’m using to test.

php_admin_value open_basedir “/var/www/vhosts/contenido.lapulga.com.do/httpdocs”
#php_admin_value display_errors = on

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^celulares.html$ index.php?op=cat&cid=4

all the time i get 404 not found when i try to access mydomain.com/celulares.html

any help?

the server is using red hat with plesk 8.6

thanks

Too true. It’s a bit all over the place, the Plesk documentation and help, isn’t it.

Thanks thanks thanks

“This is the part that everyone forgets”… Well, perhaps people would not forget it if it was mentioned in the httpd.include file. ;)

In the old host, I had exactly the same vhost.conf file, so I was perplexed.

In my troubleshooting, I determined that safe_mode and open_basedir are tied together.

You can’t have open_basedir specified, if safe_mode is on. You have to turn off safe_mode.

The example above:

php_admin_value open_basedir “/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs:/php/includes”

Only works if safe_mode is disabled in the php.ini file.

So, if under normal circumstances, you have safe_mode on, then you’d do this:

php_admin_flag safe_mode 0
php_admin_value open_basedir “/var/www/vhosts/yourdomain.com/httpdocs:/php/includes”

Peace!

Now I need to redirect people that access to any other subdomain (except the ones configured in plesk) to a different default directory.

For example http://xpto.mydomain.com to “/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/default”.

I’ve tried to create a wildcard, with the code listed bellow, but it only works if I paste it to the end of “http.include”, which is discarded after any other plesk change.

If I use the “vhost.conf” as suggested here, I get errors, because the include line at “http.include” is inside the first and lead me to problems with the others subdomains.

<VirtualHost 60.190.200.123:80>
	ServerName   mydomain.com:80
	ServerAlias   *.mydomain.com
	DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/default
	CustomLog  /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/statistics/logs/access_log plesklog
	ErrorLog  /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/statistics/logs/error_log
</VirtualHost>

Is there any other way to do this ? Am I doing something wrong ?
