Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello,

I've just installed an instance of VCP on Debian 7 and the two test sites i've installed have failed with the same problem.

Both sites include their .js files from a /javascript directory. This is globally redirected to /usr/share/javascript/ with "Alias /javascript /usr/share/javascript/" in /etc/apache2/conf.d/javascript-common.conf

As VCP hasn't create a javascript directory in /usr/share does this mean that it's an oversight and can be removed?

Thanks,

GTF

Apache quietly installs a symlink javascript-common.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d that globally aliases all /javascript URLs to /usr/share/javascript. Why? Who knows. IT'S APACHE THING (xD) I’m sure whoever did it meant well. The fix is to either remove javascript-common or just delete the conf.d symlink and restart Apache.

It's not something i've come across before in an apache setup and didn't want to delete before making sure vesta didn't need it.

Thanks for the reply :)
