I need apache to call file.php when either of the following urls are called:

  • /file.xml
  • /file-contents.xml
  • /file-abc.xml
  • /file-n.xml
  • /file-xyz.xml

Here’s a sample from my apache conf file: (the second to last line is the critical one)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /html
    ServerName domain.com

    UseCanonicalName Off

    Alias /file.xml /html/file.php
    Alias /file-contents.xml /html/file.php
    Alias /file-*.xml /html/file.php
</VirtualHost>

I can get file.xml and file-contents.xml to call file.php just fine. But wildcards aren’t working.

What do you recommend?

    AliasMatch allows regexes for this sort of thing: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#aliasmatch
