Because the absolute path does not go anywhere near the "dummy" directory which is where your .htaccess file is, so the .htaccess file never gets read for that request. > 2) Can I change this behaviour from an .htaccess file? > 3) If so, how? Put your .htaccess file somewhere that it will actually be read for the requests which you want it to affect. BTW, you don't need mod_rewrite for this sort of redirection. mod_alias would do just as well and be more lightweight and less confusing. Your choice, however.
