Re: Problem with php when using Directory rules
[In reply to]

Hi Jorge,
I guess I know what the problem is. You have a directory containing
PHP files, and you want to require authentication to access it; Is
that it?
In a case like this is when you need to have a well understanding of
how the Cherokee rule mechanism works. Let me briefly summarize it:
- Rules are evaluated from TOP to BOTTOM. The order DOES matter. You
can drag and drop rules from the configuration interface in order
to reprioritize them.
- There are final and not-final rules. If a rule is a final rule,
the server will stop trying to match the rest once it has matched
it.
- Final rules allow to "inherit" from another rules.
How would all this apply to your case? Your "Behavior rules" ought to
be similar to this:
Type Name Handler Validation Final
=======================================================
Direcotory /example None MySQL [ ]
.
[more rules]
.
Extension PHP FastCGI None [x]
So, if you request /example/thing.php, it would first match with the
Directory entry, but as long as it is not a final rules, it would
continue trying the match the rest. When it were about to finish, it
would find the Extension PHP rule so it would mix it with the previous
match. The final result would be exactly what you are looking for.
The most important thing here is to remember that the order matters,
and to know how to mix rule contents by using non-final rules.
