How do I deploy two zend frame work based apps in apache2 like the one in tomcat

Question

I have two Zend framework applications called finance and fleet. Both of them have the same .htaccess file as indicated below

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

I have created two virtual hosts called fleet.local and finance.local. This is my fleet.local file:

# APACHE CONFIGURATION FOR THE fleet.local APPLICATION    
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName fleet.local
    DocumentRoot /home/user/fleet/public 
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV dev 

    <Directory /home/user/fleet/public> 
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And this is my finance.local file:

# APACHE CONFIGURATION FOR THE fincance.local APPLICATION

<VirtualHost *:80>        
    ServerName fincance.local
    DocumentRoot /home/user/fincance/public 
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV dev 

    <Directory /home/user/fincance/public> 
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

When I want to use finance I will say http://finance.local and when I want to use fleet I will say http://fleet.local.

Now what I want to do is have a single virtual host called companyX.local and if I want the finance application, I will just type http://companyX.local/finance and http://companyX.local/fleet for my fleet application. How do I go about doing this?

Got it!!!

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName companyX.local

    Alias /finance "/home/user/finance/public"

    <Directory /home/user/finance/public> 
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Alias /fleet "/home/user/fleet/public"

    <Directory /home/user/fleet/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

and changed the rewrite base for finance like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /finance
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

and changed the rewrite base for fleet like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /fleet
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Try this — it doesn't even need RewriteBase and will work root relative or in a subdir.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)(.+)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php [NC,L]
