Setup werc with Apache

Note: Apache 2.x configuration should be similar to 1.3.x, but Apache 2.x is not recommended due to unwindy complexity, please use a saner web server.

Apache 1.3.x: minimalist configuration

No virtual hosts and let werc handle static files.

RewriteEngine On
ServerName test.cat-v.org
AddHandler cgi-script .rc

<Directory /var/www/werc/bin>
    Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex /werc.rc
</IfModule>

RewriteRule /werc.rc /var/www/werc/bin/werc.rc
DocumentRoot /var/www/werc/bin/
ErrorDocument 404 /werc.rc

Apache 1.3.x: standard configuration

This lets apache handle static files.

<VirtualHost *>

    RewriteEngine On
    ServerName test.cat-v.org
    AddHandler cgi-script .rc

    <Directory /var/www/werc/bin>
        Options ExecCGI
    </Directory>
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
        DirectoryIndex /werc.rc
    </IfModule>

    RewriteRule (.*) /var/www/werc/sites/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule .* /var/www/werc/bin/werc.rc

    RewriteRule /werc.rc /var/www/werc/bin/werc.rc
