I seem to be having trouble making url rewrite if it's inside a ScriptAlias'd directory. I have the following line in my httpd.conf file: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/vhosts/site/cgi-bin/ And the following two rules in .htaccess: RewriteRule ^random/miva(.*)$ /mm5/merchant.mvc$1 [R=301] RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/miva(.*)$ /mm5/merchant.mvc$1 [R=301] The first rule properly rewrites when browsing to site/random/miva? directives=here&more=here, while the second rule refuses to rewrite. I've had a terrible time finding much reliable information on the issue, I've found one website that claims mod_rewrite will not work on a directory that is a scriptalias, because scriptalias is a 'deeper' apache module, and therefor takes precedence before mod_rewrite will kick in. My personal experience on this leads me to believe this could be true, but since I was only able to find the information on one site, with nothing to back it up, I figured i'd see what you guys had to say about that.
Where is the .htaccess located? In the DocumentRoot or in the cgi-bin directory? The easiest fix for this would be to put the RewriteRule's in the httpd.conf instead of in .htaccess (with appropriate path adjustments).
