Now have collected a number of 404 errors from the logs, and wish to redirect them to the appropriate page in Rails. My situatrion is, we're using URL rewriting to direct anything that is not a file to the mongrel Rail balancer. But I wish to incorporate some 404 URLs which of course do not exist into the config. Is there a way to write a RewriteCond such that if a URL is not mapped/redirected in a file, THEN do the rewrite? My config: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://prod_app%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L] (which leaves Apache serving static content and mongrel doing Rails) and later: Include /opt/csw/apache2/etc/general_url_redirect.txt Sample from the general_url_redirect.txt file:RedirectPermanent /about/eventscalendar.htm http://www.site.com/calendarWhat I'd like is to be able to do something aking to this: RewriteCond ^(.*)$ $1!mapped:general_url_redirect.txt Suggestions welcomed.You're looking at the problem from the wrong angle. All you need to do is replace the RedirectPermanent in Include with RewriteRule ^/about/evenscalendar.htm http://www.site.com/claendar [R=permanent,L] and be sure to put the Include BEFORE the existing RewriteRules. The "L" flag stops rewriting at this point so it will never get to your rails stuff. Joshua.
