I am encountering a problem when i try to use different Alias name from its serving directory. For example: I have an Alias 'ABC' which points to a deployment directory named 'DEF'. It does not work, however if i point to another directory with same name (ABC) as Alias it works fine. How can i have a different alias name than its serving directory?



For some reasons it is not possible for us to have same name for alias and the serving directory therefore that is not an option.



Here is my entry in httpd virtual host:



Not Working:



 Alias /ABC "/path/DEF"
 <Directory /path/DEF>
 Options FollowSymlinks
 </Directory>


Working:



 Alias /ABC "/path/ABC"
 <Directory /path/ABC>
 Options FollowSymlinks
 </Directory>

  • Shouldn't the first example be <Directory /ABC> ? Because I assume you want to use your alias as path?

  • Well yeah... but to do that you need to specify the alias as directory, not a path.

  • Documentation says: "Alias [URL-path] file-path|directory-path" So i need to specify path.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
