Deploy Zend to a Subdirectory - apache

Question

I just started learning Zend. I managed to get the basic working (using zf create project) in my local web server. Let's just say my project is called square
The only .htaccess that I have: square/public/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
httpd.conf
DocumentRoot "/home/amree/web"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/amree/web">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
NameVirtualHost square
<VirtualHost square>
DocumentRoot "/home/amree/web/square/public"
ServerName square
</VirtualHost>
hosts
127.0.0.1 square
I'm running my application on Linux.
From what I've gathered, I can open (loaded without any problems) the site using:
http://square/
http://square/default/index/index
http://192.168.1.10/square/public/
http://192.168.1.10/square/public/default/index/index
But I can't open it using:
http://square/square/public (An error occurred message from Zend)
http://192.168.1.10/square/ (got a directory listing)
I also have other web applications in the same web server. For example, the meh application can be opened using http://192.168.1.10/meh/ but cannot be opened using http://square/meh
My question is, how can I load my Zend application without getting problems to other applications in the same server? At the moment, I prefer accessing it using my local IP (192.168.1.10). It should be possible to open it from another computer in the same network.
So, in the end I should be able to load the Zend project using
http://192.168.1.10/square
http://192.168.1.10/square/public
http://192.168.1.10/square/public/default/index/index
And I can also open my other meh application using http://192.168.1.10/meh
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can't indeed access your application using
http://square/square/public
Using the square domain will match your vhost and /square/public will be rewritten to Zend, whom will try to run Square_PublicController::indexAction()
http://192.168.1.10/square/ (got a directory listing)
you got a directoy listing (allowed by Options Indexes in <Directory "/home/amree/web">) because your .htaccess is located in http://192.168.1.10/square/public
You have to make a choice between:
http://192.168.1.10/square
http://192.168.1.10/square/public
Or maybe try an Alias in Apache
Alias /square /square/public
