Rewrite to a parent directory outside www-root

Hi,

My virtual hosting setup has the following directory structure:

/var/www/site-1
/var/www/site-2
/var/www/site-n

The apache-root of each website is /var/www/site-n/www.

Webalizer writes its output to /var/www/site-n/stats.

Now I would like the stats of each website to be available through
/var/www/site-n/stats. Currently, I am using symlinks: stats => ../stats.
This works fine, but users keep accidentily remove this symlink again and
again. So now I would like to use mod_rewrite to accomplish te same effect,
but without the need for symlinks.

The rewrite-rule should do this:

/var/www/site-n/www/stats => /var/www/site-n/stats

Thanks for any help,

Jesper

Hi Jesper,
This is probably not an area where mod_rewrite should be applied. Use
Alias instead in each of yuor vhosts. If repetition becomes an issue,
consider using mod_macro.
