Re: Apache Rewrite (mod_rewrite) cannot rewrite, if directory name is lib, var, etc, on Linux

[Eric Covener <covener@xxxxxxxxx>]

mod_rewrite has a design problem where it tries to guess if you're
rewriting to a URL or a local Path by looking at the first segment of
your substitution.

If it exists in the filesystem it uses it as a path.
If it doesn't, it prepends the document root.

I believe simply adding the [PT] flag will force it to always be
treated as a URL substitution.

This is why things in the file system root behave differently.
