Questions[setenv](server)

I've got a set of RewriteCond rules that test for various mobile devices and then set environment variables like "env=device:.iphone" or "env=device:.smartphone" if the useragent matches an iPhone or Android device.

I'm trying to now redirect the user to custom-styled 404/500 server error pages for each device, by way of the error pages.

Ideally I'd like to be able to test for a variable being there, and then write in a custom ErrorDocument string. But an apache doesn't seem to work in this case.

Any ideas how I can construct if/else tests in an apache conf file for environment vars?

I'd like to block some spiders and bad bots by user-agent text string for all of my virtual hosts via httpd.conf but have yet to find success. Below are the contents of my http.conf file. Any ideas why this isn't working? env_module is loaded.

<Directory "/var/www/">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=UnwantedRobot
</Directory>
<Directory "/srv/www/">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=UnwantedRobot
</Directory>

EDIT - @Shane Madden: I do have .htaccess files in each virtual host's document root with the following.

order allow,deny
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
deny from xx.xxx.xx.xx
deny from xx.xxx.xx.xxx
...
allow from all

Could that be creating conflict? Sample VirtualHost config:

<VirtualHost xx.xxx.xx.xxx:80>
 ServerAdmin [email protected]
 ServerName domain.com
 ServerAlias www.domain.com
 DocumentRoot /srv/www/domain.com/public_html/
 ErrorLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog /srv/www/domain.com/logs/error_log_%Y-%m"
 CustomLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog /srv/www/domain.com/logs/access_log_%Y-%m"     combined
</VirtualHost>

I want to set an env variable that has the DOC_ROOT info but nothing

SetEnv PROJECT_BASE %{ENV:DOC_ROOT}
SetEnv LAYOUT_HOME  %{ENV:PROJECT_BASE}"/html/app/wordpress/"

and then be able to access LAYOUT_HOME in php

How can I do this? The above is not working for me...

The problem is the base path is different on diff environments =/

There is mod_setenv for adding:

setenv.add-response-header = ( "Header" => "value" )

But I can't find anything to remove response headers.

I have to be sure, that my content is not cached by mobile operator proxies. On Apache I was doing it with:

<Directory "/path/to/dir">
    Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, must-revalidate"
    Header add Pragma "no-cache"
    Header unset Last-Modified
    RequestHeader unset If-Modified-Since
</Directory>

How can I do that in lighttpd?

my setup is as follows: I have one Apache2 webserver running different vhosts, one vhost is for the production website, the other vhost is for a staging / preview system. Both vhosts have different DocumentRoots and also different (Perl) CGI folders. The used modules for each of these vhosts should be in different directories, so I did the following:

<VirtualHost...>
ServerName production
SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/production/modules
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost...>
ServerName staging
SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/staging/modules
</VirtualHost>

However, I just noticed that in my Perl CGI scripts, both paths get filled into my @INC, so I can not separate the staging modules from the production modules, e.g. the SetEnv directive is not limited to a single virtual host, but seems to work globally.

How can I solve this?

Thanks! Jonas
