Extended ExpressionEngine .htaccess/apache conf

ExpressionEngine .htaccess/Apache conf

Please use these at your own risk. I cannot be responsible for having no idea what I am doing and breaking your server.

This is a collection of Apache configuration settings that I use in my ExpressionEngine projects. Since I have always been a big fan of the HTML5 Boilerplate I took inspiration from their .htaccess file and tweaked my configuration with other settings I have used over the years.

This gist contains:

  • _EXTENDED.htaccess This is a general .htaccess file I rename and edit as needed for each site. Note: When I host a site on my prad/stage/dev servers I move most or all of these rules into the vhost.conf file
  • _SAMPLE.httpd.conf I use Ubuntu on my development, staging, and production servers so this is specific to Apache 2 on my setup. Essentially this file extends the apache2.conf (in my setup).

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
