Hi, assume the following enviroment: (Apache 1.3.33) DocumentRoot /dummy RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dummy/demo$1 the rewrite rule magically sets the documentroot to /dummy/demo , when the flag [PT] is used it does not change the documentroot. What I tried to do is: changeing the document-root according to some critera but using one handler (via Action) for all of them. The Problem is: - without the PT Flag, the documentroot is changed, so that the handler is no longer reachable (cause the path passed to "Action" as 2nd argument is relative to the new DocumentRoot) - with the PT Flag a couple of weird things happen, for example DirectoryIndexes work no longer ( apache says: Directoryindex forbidden by rule , which rule? how can I find out?)
Your problem isn't entirely clear to me, because you haven't posted all the relevant configuration and log entries. But my advice is not to use Action and mod_rewrite together. You should be able to get mod_rewrite to do almost exactly the same thing as Action does, without the confusing interaction between the two modules.
