I made the change to %1 and when I made a request ... /test.php?pdfId=12 .. then it gave me the pdf. SWEET. But, still dies after the first mapping. If I call that same exact URL again, i get redirected to ... /pdf/ .. with no filename. Odd. I added these directives.... RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite_log" RewriteLock "/var/lock/httpd/rewrite.lock" RewriteLogLevel 2 .. but nothing ever is written to /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log, and /var/lock/httpd/rewrite.lock never shows up. I put those directives in the main server config, not the virtual host that I'm talking about. My apache is running as user 'nobody' and the permissions on those files/dirs are .. /var/lock/: drwx------ 2 nobody root 48 Aug 12 11:35 httpd /var/lock/httpd/: total 0 /var/log/: drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nogroup 168 Aug 12 11:37 httpd /var/log/httpd/: -rwx------ 1 nobody root 0 Aug 12 11:36 rewrite_log --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
