Hi, I was having some problems with mod_rewrite and have made a couple of test configurations which have isolated the problems I'm having. The first problem is that each rewrite rule is being repeatidly executed until it fails, however I thought it should only execute a rewrite rule once. This is causing problems, as I want to change /index.php to /dir/index.php. Instead of doing it once it keeps on repeating and then trying to go to /dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/dir/index.php. Although I could alter the regex to fix this it would make it much cleaner if I could sort the root of the problem, as well as clearing up my understanding. The second problem is that even if I use the flag [L] after a Rewrite rule it still executes other rules later on in the .htaccess file. Heres an example that illustrates both: RewriteRule ^(.*)joe(.*)$ $1luke$2 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)luke(.*)$ $1alan$2 Try to go to URI: /joe/joe/joe/joe Get redirected to /alan/alan/alan/alan Firstly, it should only change the first instance of joe to luke. If this is how its meant to work (it doesn't say this in the manual) then how to I turn it off so it only does it once. Secondly, it shouldn't have changed luke to alan as the [L] should tell it to end processing. Any help would be great to find out what wrong, or what I'm doing wrong.
