Hi Hugo

I saw an example to gave on how to use directory here https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/forum/topic/2127/#10963
what I want to do is similar but i am struging to work out how to set the ExpirePeriod.
This is the toolkit that I am trying to convert to a directory

UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = tiered-cache-control
    Match ^/.*\.(gif|htm|html|jpeg|jpg|png)(\?v=.*|\?ver=.*)?(/|$) Expire 1 weeks
    Match ^/.*\.(css|js|svg|swf|ttf|txt)(\?v=.*|\?ver=.*)?(/|$) Expire 2 weeks
    Match ^/.*\.(eot|ico|otf|pdf|ps|psd|ttf|woff|woff2)(/|$) Expire 2 months
}

Here is what I have done so far

Directory {
    DirectoryID = tiered-cache-control
    Extensions = gif, htm, html, jpeg, jpg, png ExpirePeriod 1 weeks
    Extensions = css, js, svg, swf, ttf, txt ExpirePeriod 2 weeks
    Extensions = eot, ico, otf, pdf, ps, psd ttf, woff, woff2 ExpirePeriod 2 months
}

Could please tell me what path is?
I looked at the manual but I don't find it clear.
Is it the webroot path to my index.php?

Thank you

The path contains the path relative to the webroot of the virtual host for which it is used.

VirtualHost {
  ...
  WebsiteRoot = /var/ww
  UseDirectory = test
}

Directory {
  DirectoryID = test
  Path = /test
  ...
}

The settings in the Directory section will be used for all files and subdirectories in /var/ww/test.

Hi Hugo,

Your explanation on the path option is very clear thank you.
What about the code in my directory?
Is it correctly formated?

Directory {
    DirectoryID = cache-control
    Path = /www/mydomain.com/http_live
    Extensions = gif, htm, html, jpeg, jpg, png ExpirePeriod 1 weeks
    Extensions = css, js, svg, swf, ttf, txt ExpirePeriod 2 weeks
    Extensions = eot, ico, otf, pdf, ps, psd ttf, woff, woff2 ExpirePeriod 2 months
}

Uh, no. Use this:

VirtualHost {
    ...
    UseDirectory = cache-control-1w, cache-control-2w, cache-control-2m
}

Directory {
    DirectoryID = cache-control-1w
    Path = /www/mydomain.com/http_live
    Extensions = gif, htm, html, jpeg, jpg, png
    ExpirePeriod 1 week
}

Directory {
    DirectoryID = cache-control-2w
    Path = /www/mydomain.com/http_live
    Extensions = css, js, svg, swf, ttf, txt
    ExpirePeriod 2 weeks
}

Directory {
    DirectoryID = cache-control-2m
    Path = /www/mydomain.com/http_live
    Extensions = eot, ico, otf, pdf, ps, psd ttf, woff, woff2
    ExpirePeriod 2 months
}

Cool !

Thank you very Hugo
