Topic: ibay verses /opt/

[Tom Carroll]

I've been discussing creating an e-smith-interchange custom RPM but I was told instead of setting up the store in an ibay, like I have, I should be installing it to the /opt/ directory for added security.  My problem lies in the fact that the ibay I have interchange installed in is a virtual domain.

I have installed gallery and phpmyadmin on my sme server and I did some testing.  Both of those applications are served from both domains (primary and virtual).  This is not what I want.

I want the gallery and phpmyadmin served only from the primary domain and interchange served only from the virtual domain.  Presently I cannot connect to the intechange store from my primary domain (http://www.myprimarydomain.net/store) which is good!

Is there a way to keep gallery and phpmyadmin from being served by my virtual domain, and to keep interchange from being served to the primary domain if I install interchange to the /opt/ directory?  If there is a way I'll stick with the method of putting interchange under the /opt/ directory.

Hope this wasn't too confusing.

Tom,

I am very interested in how to install interchange on SME V5, either in primary, or in an ibay. I tried unsuccesfully before. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chaloner Hale

Tom, the only way I can think of making this work is to put the httpd.conf Alias directives inside the VirtualHost directives, example below:



    ServerName secure.virtualdomain1.com
    ServerAlias virtualdomain1.com www.virtualdomain1.com

    Alias /interchange /opt/interchange
   
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride None
        order allow,deny
        allow from all
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag  magic_quotes_gpc  off
        php_flag  track_vars        on
   



To accomplish this 'correctly' would require some complex httpd.conf template editing, but definitely possible.  Hopefully someone might have a better/simpler idea.

Regards,

Darrell
