I have apache setup to serve sites in /var/www, and I have many sites in this directory. Now I don't own any of these sites and cannot update any of their content.
The problem is most of these websites use absolute path for their assets like <img src="/img/foo.png">, and apache tries to load them from /var/www/ instead of say /var/www/example1/.
I tried to add a .htaccess to /var/www/ to rewrite every paths to assets to a subdirectory, but I can't find a way to make assets from /var/www/example1/ loaded from this directory and assets from var/www/example2/ loaded from example2 instead of example1.
Is there a way to make this work? I don't really like the .htaccess solution in /var/www/, at first I wanted to use a vHost configuration for every sites but I didn't find how to do it (at least without having a domain name for each site).
Thanks!

I've created a new domain and setup a php application on the webroot. All the following requests are working perfectly.
/index.php
/info.php
/?anyting ( Note this, without index.php only query string is working )
/css/app.css
Only the domain's root is not working domian.in
I have created an virtual host for the domain. I tried giving DirectoryIndex index.php also, but still it's not working. There is no htaccess and it's a fresh server setup.
Googled whatever was possible, couldn't get any solution.
And if i hit domain.in it's serving the apache's default page.
If you have an virtual host you cant acces files outside the document root.
Maybe your html files (or others) are in a htdocs folder or something, you cant access htdocs/../
Here is the folder layout.
/outside is not normally accessible anywhere on example.com
/public_html is the folder for http://example.com
How can I use Apache's htaccess to make the url http://example.com/outside/ to show content from the folder /outside?
Thanks!

You can't. As far as I have found out, Apache prevents directives in .htaccess files linking to locations outside the current web root.
You would have to do this in the central configuration:
Alias /outside /path/to/your/outside
You may be luckier with a symlink if you can turn FollowSymLinks on.
My web root is /var/www/test/public, eg：http://www.test.local is rewrite to here,
but there's a folder /var/www/test/documents/ where I store some pictures to let others download. How can I config my apache rewrite mod to allow users to download pictures in this documents folder by a url?
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
You don't need mod_rewrite for that. You can use an Alias directive to map that images directory into your document root:
Alias /images /var/www/test/documents
^--web path ^---file system path
That'd make any request for example.com/images be internally redirected to /var/www/test/documents, even though that documents dir is not within your site's webroot.
Suppose I have a site example.com which points to the root directory of my hosting account and it has a .htaccess file in that directory. Say I have an other domain stuff.example.com which points to the same hosting account, but to a subdirectory of it, not to the root directory, and that subdirectory also has a .htaccess file in it.
If I visit stuff.example.com then will its .htaccess file be affected by the .htaccess settings of the root directory? Or htaccess search starts from the directory where the domain points to, so in this case the htaccess file in the parent directory is not taken into account?
Surprisingly the Apache docs don't ever explicitly answer this, as far as I can tell. But the htaccess tutorial gives the example that if a file is requested from /www/htdocs/example, then Apache looks for the following .htaccess files:
/.htaccess
/www/.htaccess
/www/htdocs/.htaccess
/www/htdocs/example/.htaccess
which presumably leads outside of the DocumentRoot. So it seems that the answer to your question is yes, Apache will read all .htaccess files all the way up to /.
will its .htaccess file be affected by the .htaccess settings of the root directory?
Yes. Where your web root is doesn't matter.
I have a domain that'll be using Zend Framework and I need to modify the documentroot for this particular domain to resolve to Zend's path.
Anyone know how to update the virtualhost on a particular domain?
Typically, you don't have to modify the document root.
Put your application files one level above your document root, and put the contents of the zend public folder in whatever your document root is (e.g. public_html or htdocs).
