Apache configuration resulting in recursive /index.html

  • 772

I'm using puppet to configure Apache, and have a problem. I'm trying to serve a simple front page, with links to 2 subpages for Kibana and Uchiwa. I'm trying to use http://server/logging for kibana, and http://server/monitor as a redirect to Uchiwa. So far, the /monitor URL works fine, redirecting nicely.

The /logging URL ends up point me at http://server/monitor/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/index.html/... etc.

The resulting config that Puppet generates looks like that pasted below: if someone can spot the problem in that, I can fix the Puppet setup!

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName testnode.local.net

  DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/frontpage/"
  AliasMatch /logging "/usr/share/kibana/"

  <Directory "/var/www/html/frontpage/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

  ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/testnode.local.net_error.log"
  ServerSignature Off
  CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/testnode.local.net_access.log" combined

  Redirect permanent /monitor http://testnode.local.net:3000/

  ServerAlias testnode
</VirtualHost>
apache-2.2

  1. I've come back to this after lunch, and found the problem. I've since tweaked my config slightly to add a Directory block for the other folder (/kibana), but I think the key change was this:

    Alias /logging "/usr/share/kibana/"

    Changing the AliasMatch to Alias!

    Hope this helps future Googlers.
