Reference

Modules

Alias

Enable the module: a2enmod alias

After that you could access to specific directory when you specify for example (/etc/apache2/conf.d/rtorrent.conf):

Alias /rutorrent /home/rtorrent/public_html

When you type : http://ip/rutorrent it will go on /home/rtorrent/public_html

SSL

To enable this module: a2enmod ssl

If you would like to access to https://192.168.2.2/ make sure default-ssl is linked to site-enabled: a2ensite default-ssl

Note: If you don't do that you could have this error: [Thu Sep 19 16:21:14 2013] [error] [client 192.168.2.2] Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01{- apache2/error.log}

If you would like to force ssl access on directory:

/etc/apache2/conf.d/rtorrent.conf

<Directory /home/rtorrent/public_html>
        SSLOptions +StrictRequire
        SSLRequireSSL
</Directory>

PHP

This directive permits to retrieve a maximum of logs about php:

php_admin_value log_errors true
php_admin_value error_log "/home/fws/logs/fws_php_details.log"
php_admin_value display_errors "/home/fws/logs/fws_php_errors.log"
php_admin_value error_reporting 32767

Note:

- You could just show error on stdout if you do that: `php_admin_value display_errors "On"`{apache}
- You could use php_value instead of php_admin_value. php_value permit to modify the value with htaccess.
