configure owncloud under yaws - webserver

description

yaws_404_to_index_php.erl is the src for a custom 404 errormod.
This error mod executes the request with index.php in docroot, if the requests file does not exist in filesystem.
This code only works with php configured as cgi, but sure could easy extended to support fcgi, too.
You compile this with 'erlc' and have to place it in the ebin directory of yaws.
For more information look at http://yaws.hyber.org/ and https://github.com/klacke/yaws

In the config the "dir_listings = false" is important and also the redirect from "/data" to somewhere else, because files will be saved in this directory and it should not be accessable from the outside.
