Rivet Root

[Roderick]

Excuse me, that I ask here, it is perhaps more a question on apache
than, tcl, but since people here know apache rivet ...

I do not want to put .rvt and .tcl skripts in the DocumentRoot directory
together with html file. I want them in a separated directory, as it is
the case with cgi scripts, also with a ScriptAlias as with cgi.
How to configure apache?

Thanks
Rod.

Hi Rod,

My sites-enabled/...conf file looks like this (some names anonymised):

Listen 80
# The http website
<VirtualHost *:80>
# SVP 14OCT2022: This will need to be changed to WARN or ERROR.
LogLevel info
CustomLog /home/.../logs/access.log combined
ErrorLog /home/.../logs/error.log
ServerName name
ServerAdmin scotty@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/..../www
# The main Rivet script
RivetServerConf ChildInitScript "source /home/.../www/childinit.tcl"
# All urls to go to the main script.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.tcl [L]
<Directory /home/.../www>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


I keep the two main scripts, childinit.tcl and index.tcl in the .../www
directory, and all the other tcl scripts for the website site
in .../www/lib, in their own directory. I don't put any scripts in any
other place like /usr/lib/exec/cgi. I don't have any html or other
files in .../www. All requests go to my index.tcl and it serves the
content from a database.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but I hope that helps a
bit.
