Apache 2.4 VirtualDocumentRoot and www alias at once

Question

Here's my vhost file:

UseCanonicalName Off

<VirtualHost *:80>
    VirtualDocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites/%-2+
    ServerName test
    ServerAlias *.test
</VirtualHost>

I use it for my local development. Under directory ~/Sites i have all the site folders, for example: ~/Sites/myblog. This virtualdocument thingy is working well, except for www to non-www redirect. If i type in a browser: www.myblog.test it throws an error "Not found". How can i make it work as www.myblog.test and myblog.test together?

From the example you gave, you would need:

VirtualDocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites/%-2

Have a look at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html, under "Directory Name Interpolation"

-2  the penultimate part

while yours is:

-2+     the penultimate and all preceding parts

Thank you, it worked, lol. I didn't understood "penultimate part" – Alexander Kim Mar 18 '18 at 09:12
I assure you, I had to deduce it myself. – Gerard H. Pille Mar 18 '18 at 09:13
is there a way to "debug" it? -1, +1 – Alexander Kim Mar 18 '18 at 09:15
No idea, but I'd have a look in the error log when I'd have a 404. – Gerard H. Pille Mar 18 '18 at 09:23
