Hey Aj., So you are running www.example.com and edit.example.com within the same apache server config? This means edit.example.com is an alias to www.example.com or how do you set/determine HTTP_POST? When working with multiple hostnames/servernames and treating traffic differently depending on a this name, it makes sense to work with multiple name-based virtual hosts. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html I am not exactly sure what is going wrong with your server, but the following abbreviated config layout should solve it (and bring you a more readable config): NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName www.example.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule /create(.*) http://edit.example.com/create$1 [redirect,last] RewriteRule /edit(.*) http://edit.example.com/edit$1 [redirect,last] </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName edit.example.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule /create - [last] RewriteRule /edit - [last] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [redirect, last] </VirtualHost> Hope this helps.
