User login with Mod_Rewrite and a common folder? Possible

[Richard Marell]

I am using mod_rewrite to forward a user to its own folder based on username:

<Directory "${SITEROOT}/login">
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile xxxxxxx/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/users/.+/
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} (.+)
RewriteRule (.*) /users/%1/$1 [L]
</Directory>

Every user has his own index.html and basically loads his own website from that directory.
I want to have one common directory for all users where I can put fonts, images and so on. If I create a dir outside the user-folder I get CORS (origin) errors.

How can I have a common folder for all users?

1) Why dont you use mod_userdir instead of the Rewrite? See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_userdir.html
See also https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto ... _html.html

2) If you use mod_userdir, you easily can use any folder for centralized data. Otherwise you can use ALIAS directive to define any folder outside of DocumentRoot for fonts and images.

Thank you. Alias did the job for me.
