Although I'm not a regex expert, I can see a number of things that could be wrong there, such as including the line termination character inside the () and the fact that the $1 will always be empty. But why not just avoid the problem by using something like: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.html$ RewriteRule /cgi-bin/(.*) /local/apache/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/%{ENV:UID}/$1 [T=application/x-httpd-cgi,NS] Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
