[mapserver-users] Installing mod_mapcache on Apache 2.4.4

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

In  case this could help someone, I found that for some reason the instructions for installing Mapcache on Apache version >2.4 did not work for me.
The document http://www.mapserver.org/trunk/mapcache/install.html suggests to use the new access control syntax which is described in a similar way also in this Apache document http://www.mapserver.org/trunk/mapcache/install.html

The syntax to use nowadays is like
<IfModule mapcache_module>
   <Directory /path/to/directory>
      Require all granted
   </Directory>
   MapCacheAlias /mapcache "/path/to/directory/mapcache.xml"
</IfModule> "

However, with that configuration my Apache v. 2.4.4 (Unix) on CentOS told that there is no permission to /mapcache. After changing back to the Apache <2.4 syntax I can access  Mapcache

<Directory /path/to/directory>
      Order Allow,Deny
      Allow from all
</Directory>
