Why don't you try this instead: RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^\./]+)\.html?$ /index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4&$5 [L] RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^\./]+)\.html?$ /index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4 [L] RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^\./]+)\.html?$ /index.php?$1=$2&$3 [L] RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^\./]+)\.html?$ /index.php?$1=$2 [L] I was not able to reproduce your problem, but part of it was that . in a regexp matches even / -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Bernd Muent [mailto:Bernd.Muent@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 10:47 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] modRewrite looks in the wrong subfolder: http://localhost/module/News/article/56.html => http://localhost/index.php?module=News&article=56 Hi together, I'd like the following for a CMS: URL http://localhost/module/News/article/56/show/1.html will be rewrited to http://localhost/index.php?module=News&article=56&show=1 From the PHP site, it's easy to explode the querystring and prepare the right link. When I click the first time on: http://localhost/module/News/article/56/show/1.html everything is ok, but then the link becomes the following: http://localohost/module/News/article/56/show/1/module/News/article/56/show/1.html So Apache thinks that "module/News/article/56/show/" is the current folder and he is looking in this subfolder. After that I get either a 404 or embedded pictures are not found. My rewrite rules are the following: RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)(\.html?)$ /index.php?$1=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)(\.html?)$ /index.php?$1=$2&$3 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)(\.html?)$ /index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)(\.html?)$ /index.php?$1=$2&$3=$4&$5 [L] etc. I tried the following too: RewriteBase / But nothing has changed.
