Re: Sanity Checking mod_rewrite for Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Itamar Gal <itamarggal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Eric,

Thank you for the advice. You hit the nail on the head. The Ubuntu Apache installation comes pre-configured with a catch-all default virtual-host which apparently (as you said) was not inheriting the rewrite settings. Copy-pasting the identical configuration settings into the virtual-host body resulted in the expected behavior. After consulting the documentation again (armed with this new insight) I also noticed the following section:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#vhosts

which describes how to have a virtual host inherit rewrite rules. Apparently the following directives are required in the body of the virtual host:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit

Thanks again for your help!

Cheers,

Itamar

Unlike most other settings,. Rewrite rules are not automatically
inherited from the base config to virtual hosts.
