ApacheHtaccessIn

Often when you get a Web App there will be several .htaccess files sprinkled through the app, and Apache will read these to make sure it serves the app properly., _(*1)

Problem: it is better for performance if these configs are baked into Apache, instead of getting apache to look for .htaccess files., _(*2)

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html, _(*3)

This library is a simple library that will search through a directory for .htaccess files and make them into an Apache config for you., _(*4)

Use from the command line

Say you have this Apache Config, _(*5)

<VirtualHost example.com>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/web
    <Directory /var/www/example.com/web >
        AllowOverride all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Check out the code and run, _(*6)

php bin/ApacheHtaccessIn.php /var/www/example.com/web >> /var/www/example.com/apacheConfig

Then simply change your config to, _(*7)

<VirtualHost example.com>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/web
    <Directory /var/www/example.com/web >
        AllowOverride none
    </Directory>
    Include /var/www/example.com/apacheConfig
</VirtualHost>

Reload or restart Apache. Done!, _(*8)

Every time you do something that might change your .htaccess files, such as upgrade the app, you will need to rerun this and reload or restart Apache., _(*9)

Note: the output file created contains complete paths. This means if you move the web app - say from /var/www/example.com/web to /websites/example.com/web you will need to rerun this., _(*10)

Run from PHP

This can be included with composer: https://packagist.org/packages/jmbtechnologylimited/apachehtaccessin, _(*11)

For an example of how to call the PHP classes, see bin/ApacheHtaccessIn.php, _(*12)
