I want to configure a virtual host to return 404 for a specific request I tried mod_rewrite RewriteRule ^/(forbidden_.*) - [R=404]
RewriteRule ^/forbidden_ - [R=404]should work, but this depends upon your apache version. It's implemented since 2.1 I think. You're using this in per-server context (outside of <directory>, no .htaccess files), right?
I would need to redirect to a nonexisting url, so the browser would receive a 301 first and then get the 404,
No, there is another way: RewriteRule ^/forbidden_ /nonexistent [L] which would produce a 404 not found, too. -- Robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
