Hello to all,

I would like to know if it's possible to configure apache or a module to let access to file with specific version ?

Example: I have a html file in version 1.0 with code and I want to update it but let the old version online.

Kind regards,

NivekLR

Hello,

having two versions accessible/available to the user means that you have to store both versions on the server. Smile

I have used the following idea (on linux):
create a directory for every version of your application
/var/www/html/app_v1
/var/www/html/app_v2
...
and create a symlink pointing to the version you want use as "official" version
/var/www/html/app --> /var/www/html/app_v2
By accessing http://server/app the v2 (in this case) is used whereas you still can access v1 by using http://server/app_v1 . Ensure that FollowSymlinks is enabled within your Apache-Config.
This approach also works for single files.

Or you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite requests to /app to /app_v2 and still can access v1 by using /app_v1 directly.

I would prefer the symlink-version as it is easier to understand Smile .
But the mod_rewrite-idea will work Linux as well as on Windows.

Best regards
Matthias
