@lolcode can you elaborate? I am not sure what you mean by this.

Sorry.

What I mean is we need a way to configure directory alias (system fs to urls).

Normally I put the aliases on the http.conf of a virtual host. Using Alisa /foo /bar

Here is the doc:

You can provide your own template for the config file, which allows you to add just about anything you want.

In a wrapper cookbook, create a vhost template such as templates/default/vhost.conf.erb and you can reference it as follows

web_app 'myapp' do
  docroot "/var/www/myapp/htdocs"
  template "vhost.conf.erb"
  server_name 'myapp.mydomain.com'
end

This provides you a lot of flexibility without needing to expose every Apache HTTP directive via the cookbook. Does that work for you?

So the motto is to provide basic and generic interfaces through the configs and let the users create the specific ones, Nice to know.

And, thanks for your time and help.
