Question

We have a multisite CMS that handles images and other files like this..

How can we cache images and other files that are in www.(or non-www.)variable-domain.com/files/* with .htaccess?

This is causing a 500 error. I stripped out some.. here is what I have currently that works (minus the Directory and contents part – it throws the error when thats included).

#
#   Force Browser Cache
#
<ifmodule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On

<filesmatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|css|js)$">
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
</filesmatch>

<FilesMatch ".(flv|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|ico|swf)$">
    Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"
</FilesMatch>

<FilesMatch ".(js|css|pdf|txt)$">
    Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800"
</FilesMatch>

<Directory "/home/aiwebsystems/public_html/uploads">
    <FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpg|png|js|css)$">
        ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

</ifmodule>

I would need all subdirectories of this included too…

Thanks for the help!

Being as it does not have an extension, none of this worked. I change the code in the end and it works great now, using the file name rather than the image ID as the last URI parameter.
