I was wondering if anyone has given thought to allowing the use of
relative paths with the mod_rewrite package rather then requiring full
paths. i.e., in the .htaccess file:
"Redirect 301 ./neuro.asp ../neurology.php" (does not work)
instead of:
"Redirect 301 /pedtest/divisions/neuro/neuro.asp
http://depts.washington.edu/pedtest/divisions/neurology.php";
(does work)
Just asking because our dev->testing->production setup has different
absolute FQDN's at each spot, and this means the .htaccess file is
specific to each of the environments. It would be convenient to not have
to remember to change the .htaccess file each time a new site version gets
pushed through the process.
You can't use relative paths, but you can accomplish the same thing: RewriteRule (.*)(/[^/]*)/neuro.asp $1/neurology.php [R=301] (That may need to be adjusted, but it should give you the idea.)
