I had already posted this on the configuration list, but got no replies, so I thought someone here might be able to better answer. I've got an odd thing happening and I'm not sure why. I've got the following mod rewrite conditions and rules for the default site on my apache box: <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order deny,allow Deny from all RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /press/ RewriteRule /press/(.*) /press.php?id=$1 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /jobs/ RewriteRule /jobs/(.*) /jobs.php?id=$1 [L] </Directory> This works fine. Does what I want it to, which is rewrite /jobs.php?id=873465 to /jobs/873465. All's well there. However, a side affect is that an alias that I have in my main configuration no longer works: Alias /mysql /path/to/phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 When I browse to http://localhost/mysql , I get a "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /mysql/ on this server." When I comment out the mod rewrite lines and bounce apache, it goes back to working just fine. Any insight?
