    <p>I'm using a local install of Apache 2.2.11 and have set up an alias to a folder above the document root (<code>alias localhost/fp/ =&gt; /www/dirs/friendpages</code>). I would like to be able to redirect requests to "/favicon.ico" to <code>localhost/fp/favicon.ico</code> as opposed to <code>localhost/favicon.ico</code> with a .htaccess file in <code>localhost/fp</code>. Is this possible and if so, how would I do that?</p> <p>The reference to favicon.ico, would come from a file such as the following: <code>/www/dirs/friendpages/test.htm (localhost/fp/test.htm)</code> =></p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon"&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; Page using favicon.ico &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have made several attempts using RewriteRule. For example,</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico$ /www/dirs/friendpages/favicon.ico </code></pre> <p>...but have not been able to find a solution. It appears that I'm confused about what exactly <em>Pattern</em> is and what <em>Substitution</em> should be (given <code>RewriteRule Pattern Substitution</code>). I'm especially confused about how I would set up a RewriteRule distinguishing a relative file reference such as the one via the link tag above vs. an absolute one like "localhost/fp/favicon.ico" (the latter obviously not requiring a redirection).</p> <p>I also enabled rewrite logging using the following in my <code>httpd.conf</code> file:</p> <pre><code>RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteLog /logs/rewrite.log </code></pre> <p>...but all I get, when loading the above listed <code>localhost/fp/test.htm</code> with the above stated RewriteRule is this:</p> <pre><code>127.0.0.1 - - [04/Nov/2011:05:09:51 --0700] [localhost/sid#14f44f8][rid#2619268/initial] (3) [perdir /www/dirs/friendpages/] strip per-dir prefix: /www/dirs/friendpages/test.htm -&gt; test.htm 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Nov/2011:05:09:51 --0700] [localhost/sid#14f44f8][rid#2619268/initial] (3) [perdir /www/dirs/friendpages/] applying pattern '^/favicon.ico$' to uri 'test.htm' 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Nov/2011:05:09:51 --0700] [localhost/sid#14f44f8][rid#2619268/initial] (1) [perdir /www/dirs/friendpages/] pass through /www/dirs/friendpages/test.htm </code></pre> <p>I have discovered that an alternative way (short of hardcoding the appropriate reference itself) to achieve the desired result is to set up a virtual host (as opposed to simply using an alias) but my gut-feeling is that this should also be possible using mod_rewrite and .htaccess... just how?</p>

    1. CODid you mean for `/www/dirs/fp` and `/www/dirs/friendpages` to be the same directory, or are they really different?

    2. CO@AndrewSchulman Good catch -- there's no /www/dirs/fp, I adjusted my description above to reflect that. Also, there was a second mistake which I corrected: the link tag makes a reference to **/favicon.ico** as opposed to simply favicon.ico.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
