Re: [users@httpd] mod_rewrite question(s)

[Steve Blandford <steve.blandford@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joshua,

thanks for the quick response.

To address your comments;

 the  RewriteEngine On command is just above the Virtual host section (5th line from the top of the snippet)

I've removed the % signs and nothing changed in the operation of the rewrite. So the %age sign was superfluous.

Now since the engine is on, can you think of any reason the

            RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite_log"
            RewriteLogLevel 8

isn't working?

Cheers
Steve

Another problem I am seeing is even though I have logging turned on in
my conf file, and that the log file was created, nothing has been
written to it...

Here is the portion of my conf file relating to the problem. (domain
names have been changed to protect the innocent)

        #    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
        #    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log

        RewriteEngine On


        NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.3:80

        <VirtualHost 10.0.0.3:80>
            DocumentRoot /var/www/v1.domain.com/html/public
            ServerName www.domain.com
            RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite_log"
            RewriteLogLevel 8
            ServerAlias *.domain.com *.domain.co.uk
            Alias /merchant /var/www/v1.domain.com/html/merchant
            Alias /admin /var/www/v1.domain.com/html/admin
            ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/v1.domain.com/cgi-bin
            ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domain.com-error_log
            CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domain.com-access_log common
        </VirtualHost>

        # 1
        <Directory "/var/www/v1.domain.com/html/admin">
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
            RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%www.domain.com/$1 [R]
        </Directory>

        #2
        <Directory "/var/www/v1.domain.com/html/merchant">
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
            RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%www.domain.com/$1 [R]
        </Directory>

        <Directory "/var/www/v1.domain.com/cgi-bin">
          SetHandler perl-script
          PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
          PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
          Options +ExecCGI
        </Directory>

The #1 and #2 ones work. currently. They take any request that is not
https and convert it to https.
    

I very much doubt that they are working like you think.  Probably some
other configuration is having that effect.  I see several problems:
1. No "RewriteEngine On", which could explain why you have nothing in
your RewriteLog.
2. What is the "%" sign doing in the target URL?
3. When inside <Directory> sections, the URL you are matching against
generally doesn't have a leading slash.  I always find it much simpler
to keep my RewriteRules out of <Directory> sections and just put the
directory in the RewriteRule itself, as in

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/merchant(.*) https://%www.domain.com/merchant$1
