I have a rewrite directive in my conf file like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/www/popline/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 2
RewriteRule ^/docs$ /docs/index.html
RewriteRule ^/docs/$ /docs/index.html
RewriteRule ^/docs/index.* - [L] #If this matches, don't do any rewriting
RewriteRule ^/docs/sitemap.* - [L] #If this matches, don't do any rewriting. For Google sitemap program
RewriteRule ^/docsum.* - [L] #If this matches, don't do any rewriting
RewriteRule ^/docs/([0-9]{6})$ http://db.jhuccp.org/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpcgi.exe?BU=http\%3A\%2F\%2Fdb.jhuccp.org\%2Fdbtw-wpd\%2Fexec\%2Fdbtwpcgi.exe&QF0=DocNo\%&QI0=$1&TN=Popline&AC=QBE_QUERY&MR=30\%DL=1&&RL=1&&RF=LongRecordDisplay&DF=LongRecordDisplay [P]
RewriteRule ^/docs/[0-9]{4}.* - [L] #If this matches, don't do any rewriting
RewriteRule ^/.*$ http://db.jhuccp.org/popinform/basic.html [R,L]
The purpose of line 9 is to take a URL in the form of 'http://www.popline.org/271080' and pass it to a database-based web page.
This was working correctly until I upgraded to Debian sarge with Apache2. When working correctly, the rewrite.log looked like this:
66.249.64.66 - - [29/Oct/2004:15:47:18 -0400] [www.popline.org/sid#80b86ac][rid#80b4484/initial] (2) rewrite /docs/271469 -> http://db.jhuccp.org/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpcgi.exe?BU=http%3A%2F%2Fdb.jhuccp.org%2Fdbtw-wpd%2Fexec%2Fdbtwpcgi.exe&QF0=DocNo%&QI0=271469&TN=Pop

However, since the upgrade, the rewrite doesn't work, and this is the log entry:
162.129.225.189 - - [24/Aug/2005:16:08:21 --0400] [www.popline.org/sid#81e9328][rid#8299d68/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /docs/271077

If you again click on http://db.jhuccp.org/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpcgi.exe?BU=http%3A%2F%2Fdb.jhuccp.org%2Fdbtw-wpd%2Fexec%2Fdbtwpcgi.exe&QF0=DocNo%&QI0=271077&TN=Popline&AC=QBE_QUERY&MR=30%DL=1&&RL=1&&RF=LongRecordDisplay&DF=LongRecordDisplay from the second entry, the rewrite works fine.
Can anyone help me understand what's happening and how to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help and advice.
