[Bug 820936] [NEW] Virtual server setup breaks Rewrite Rules

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

Default setup for Apache2 is with:
<Virtualhost *:80>
   ...
</Virtualhost>

there are web applications within "/etc/apache2/conf.d" any rewrite-
rules given there are ignored, because they are outside the scope for
the virtual server running on port 80.

Two solutions:
1. Move all Location definitions for the default virtual server to some directory to be included within
<Virtualhost *:80>
   include Location definitions
</Virtualhost>

or

2. remove <Virtualhost *:80> </Virtualhost> entirely for the default
server.

It is more than only annoying having various rewrite rules never
touched, just because they not located at the right place!
