class="ls-permlink"><a href="#railsContext"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>A Rack/Rails Context provides an easy way to configure a Ruby Rack/Rails application. To add a Rack/Rails application through a Rack/Rails Context, only mounting the URL and the application's root directory is required. There is no need to go through all the troubles to define an external application, add a 404 handler, and rewrite rules, etc.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="expuri"><h3>URI<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#expuri"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the URI for this context.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>The URI can be a plain URI (starting with "/") or a Perl compatible regular expression URI (starting with "exp:"). If a plain URI ends with a "/", then this context will include all sub-URIs under this URI. If the context maps to a directory on the file system, a trailing "/" must be added.</p> <h4>See Also</h4><p class="ls-text-small"><span class="tagl"><a href="#location">Location</a></span></p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="rails_location"><h3>Location<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#rails_location"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the corresponding location of this context in the file system.<br/><br/> Default value: $DOC_ROOT + <span class="tagl"><a href="#expuri">URI</a></span></p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>It can be an absolute path or path relative to $SERVER_ROOT, $VH_ROOT, or $DOC_ROOT. $DOC_ROOT is the default relative path, and can be omitted.<br/><br/> If the <span class="tagl"><a href="#expuri">URI</a></span> is a regular expression, then the matched sub-string can be used to form the "Root" string. The matched sub-string can be referenced with the values "$1" - "$9". "$0" and "&" can be used to reference the whole matched string. Additionally, a query string can be set by appending a "?" followed by the query string. Be careful. "&" should be escaped as "\&" in the query string.</p> <h4>Example</h4><div class="ls-example">A plain URI like <span class="val">/examples/</span> with <span class="tagl"><a href="#location">Location</a></span> set to <span class="val">/home/john/web_examples</span> will map the request "/examples/foo/bar.html" to file "/home/john/web_examples/foo/bar.html".<br/> To simulate Apache's mod_userdir, set URI to <span class="val">exp: ^/~([A-Za-z0-9]+)(.*)</span>, set <span class="tagl"><a href="#location">Location</a></span> to <span class="val">/home/$1/public_html$2</span>.

This setting controls how many requests can be processed concurrently by an external application, however, the real limit also depends on the external application itself. Setting this value higher will not help if the external application is not fast enough or cannot scale to a large number of concurrent requests.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Integer number</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span> Setting a high value does not directly translate to higher performance.

It can be overridden by <span class="tagl"><a href="#expiresByType">Expires By Type</a></span>.

If you have any document root level rewrite rules from .htaccess, you should instead create a static context with uri "/" and add the rewrite rules there.<br/><br/> A rewrite rule is comprised of one <span class="val">RewriteRule</span> directive and optionally preceded by multiple <span class="val">RewriteCond</span> directives. <ul> <li>Each directive should take only one line.</li> <li> <span class="val">RewriteCond</span> and <span class="val">RewriteRule</span> follow Apache's rewrite directive syntax. Just copy and paste rewrite directives from your Apache configuration files. </li> <li> There are minor differences between LiteSpeed and Apache mod_rewrite implementation: <ul> <li> <span class="val">%\{LA-U:variable\}</span> and <span class="val">%\{LA-F:variable\}</span> are ignored by the LiteSpeed rewrite engine </li> <li> Two new server variables are added in the LiteSpeed rewrite engine: <span class="val">%\{CURRENT_URI\}</span> represents the current URI being processed by the rewrite engine and <span class="val">%\{SCRIPT_NAME\}</span> has the same meaning as the corresponding CGI environment variable. </li> <li> The LiteSpeed rewrite engine will stop processing rewrite rules after encountering an <span class="val">[L]</span> flag to avoid looping while Apache mod_rewrite will stop processing rewrite rules for the current iteration only. This behavior is similar to that of the <span class="val">[END]</span> flag in Apache mod_rewrite. </li> </ul> </li> </ul><br/> The implementation of LiteSpeed's rewrite engine follows Apache's rewrite engine specifications.
