Re: [users@httpd] help with rewrite rule - SOLVED!

Mike Soultanian <msoultan@xxxxxxxxx> · Fri, 21 Jul 2006 08:10:30 -0700

I'm still kinda shocked that I got it working, but I actually does what 

I wanted!

I was messing around with this, and I have to admit that it was more 

trial and error than knowledge, but I got it:

RewriteCond	%{SCRIPT_FILENAME}	/$
RewriteRule	/(.*)	http://localhost:81/$1/	[P]

I'm kinda proud that I figured out the /$ (that itself took me a half 

hour to figure out!).  I totally suck at regular expressions, and you 

know, I still don't understand why the above works, but it does!

now both of the following work:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota
http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

Thanks for all the help!

If I'm not mistaken from an earlier post, you actually want more than to
just have

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

work.  You want to also use the same rewrite for images, etc.
Without knowing the full extent of what you expect the code
to do I don't even know if mod_rewrite is right for the job.

To me it sounds like you might need some server-side technology like php 

or perl

to do some URL processing and redirects...

Well, for example, I would like to be able to input either of the 

following into my browser:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

and the web page will be displayed while the application server 

handling the requests all see localhost as the originating address.

My apologies for not being more clear.  cota is a folder, and the 

problem is that it's not appending the trailing slash.

thanks!

That's why I was saying you'd probably have to write something a 

little complicated.

Its really hard if you don't already have a naming convention in mind.

That way you could just force it to rewrite without the ending slash 

if you wanted.

I think its adding the trailing slash because it assumes cota is a 

directory.

(Someone else on here might have a better explanation.)

What exactly are you trying to see happen, in human terms, i.e. how 

would

you like the request to unfold.
Thanks,
