Re: I need help with a rewrite request

[Darryl Philip Baker <darryl.baker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Frank.

That does look like it will do exactly what I want it to do. I am having trouble implementing it. In our development instance I created a .htaccess file with:

<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>

                Options +MultiViews

</IfModule>

But when I try to browse to that directory I get a 500 error. I checked and mod_negotiation is loaded globally. So what am I doing wrong?

 

I am planning on implementing it as part of a Directory definition in my  production environment.

You don't need to use mod_rewrite, a simpler solution is to use multiviews:

I have just received a request to rewrite everything http://school.northwestern.edu/faculty/name/ to http://school.northwestern.edu/faculty/name.html I believe I can bury this rule in a directory declaration for the faculty directory but I am having problems writing the exact rules to make the transform happen. My stumbling block is I do very few new rewrite rules. Most are simple modifications of existing rules. Please help.
