Re: [users@httpd] mod_rewrite directives problem

[Shyne <cho@xxxxxxxx>]

In the meantime I have found out that the problem was, that the directive needed a physical path in order to operate:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond /data/www/htdocs/mysite%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond /data/www/htdocs/mysite%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^/help?(.*)$ /help/index.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

This finally does the job.

Thanks for listening & greetings,
Carole.

!-f says "NOT an existing filename"
-f  says "is an existing filename"
There are "-d" for directories and "-l" for links.

If you have all together [ !-f, !-d, (!-l if you are using symlinks) ] than you have exact what you want.

Hi Robert

Thanks for your answer.

I changed the directives according to your input and installed the log.

Apparently the directive RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f matches 
requests for existing files, which it should exactly not do.
I try to filter out all requests for non existing documents and folders 
and lead them to my script, but leave the existing stuff untouched.

Is there a different way to do the filtering for non existing documents 
(with leaving what has been entered in the Address Bar unchanged)?

Thanks and greetings,
Carole.

- I am not sure if /help/%(REQUEST_URI) points to the right place, but 
      

Round parenthesis are wrong, you must use {...}, but consider using

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    

- Should it be ^help/ or ^/help/
      

In per-server context: ^/help/

In order to debug RewriteRules, use a RewriteLog

RewriteLog logs/rewrite
Rewriteloglevel 5
