At first glance? a) allows only one directory between .../vhosts/ and /htdocs b) allows zero, one, or more directories between .../vhosts/ and /htdocs

Are you sure? From 2.4 manual None of the wildcards match a `/' character

e.g: /srv/www/vhosts//htdocs, /srv/www/vhosts/test.domain.com/htdocs, /srv/www/vhosts/hijinks/blubber/blah/htdocs

in a) that could be extended to exclude some other chars, too. e.g. exclude "_" from vhostname: .../[^/_]+/...

No. Do you observe different behavior?

Yes, much to my surprise. During the weekend, I changed from (b) to (a) when I was experimenting with the "Require" serttings. I ended up rolling back the "Require" changes, but I forgot to change (a) back to (b). With (a), all of a sudden it seemed like .htaccess was not being read. I have not looked into it in any detail yet. With I have a number of settings that apply to all virtual hosts, for instance "Require all granted". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The only thing that comes to mind is that the * may not be parsed quite like a regexp (it should be .*) or like shell globbing (it would be limited to one dir level) but instead covers any depth. The

[^/]+

clearly is limited to only one level.

Yep - in my case, the structure only has one level: /srv/www/vhosts/xxxxxx/htdocs If I had something like /srv/www/vhosts/xxx/yyy/htdocs the regexp version would clearly fail, but as I don't, I can't explain the behaviour. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
