[users@httpd] RewriteRule being ignored

["David Hull" <dbhull1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running apache 2.0.50 on SuSE 9.2. I also run Tomcat 5.0.28 and pass connections to it from Apache. I installed Apache from the SuSE package.

My RewriteRule is not working. It appears to be completely ignored. Connections get passed to Tomcat via the Proxy pass w/o being rewritten.
I have enabled the RewriteRuleLog and set the log level to 9. The log file is created but is not written to. I am missing something obvious I am sure but am too much of a newbie still to be sure just what.

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

My settings:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.myserver.com
  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteRule ^/gift/(.*)$ http://www.myserver.com/buy.jsp?gift=$1
  RewriteRule ^/refer/(.*)$ http://www.myserver.com/buy.jsp?refer=$1

  ProxyPass /download/ http://www.myserver.com/download/
  ProxyPassReverse /download/ http://www.myserver.com/download/
  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
</VirtualHost>

Thanks,

 

David
