NATS4 Apache Configuration
Join Link Issues
The following information can be used for your Apache Configuration files if you are having problems with your NATS join links.
Executing PHP Pages
Find the following line in your Apache httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php
Add the following extensions to the end of the line above:
.php .php3 .html .htm
FollowSymLinks
If your linkcodes go to your NATS install instead of your site, ensure you have the following two lines in your Apache configuration:
<Directory /home/www> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory>
The lines should be in a global virtual host configuration. For example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@site.com
DocumentRoot /home/www
ServerName site.com
ServerAlias *.site.com
CustomLog /dev/null common
<Directory /home/www>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Tracking Link Issues
The following information can be used for your .htaccess file if you are having issues with your NATS tracking links.
Zend Optimizer
To use Apache 2.0 with Zend Optimizer and NATS, change all of the lines starting with SetHandler in your nats/www/.htaccess. Replace the SetHandler with ForceType. For example:
Old
<Files ttrack> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </Files>
New
<Files ttrack> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files>
Also add "AcceptPathInfo On" to the virtual host configuration in Apache's httpd.conf.
Apache 2
Most of our .htaccess files have the following lines:
<Files track> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </Files>
Apache 2 requires you change the lines above to the lines below:
<Files track> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP </Files>
