(This is on Solaris 10-x86 with Apache 2.2.4) When I give the URL 1) http://www-demo.cchem.berkeley.edu/username/public_html everything works fine. However, for historical reasons, I can't require that people give the "/public_html" at the end of the URL. In other words, I want users to be able to enter 2) http://www-demo.cchem.berkeley.edu/username/ to see the same results as produced by URL #1 . So, I decided to try mod_rewrite. I use the following in the proper VirtualHost section of my httpd.conf file: RewriteLogLevel 5 RewriteLog "/users/chemweb/apache2/logs/rewrite.log" RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/public_html/ [L] This doesn't work. The client sees a "403 Forbidden" message. The apache log says:"Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/public_html/"
I don't understand why I'm getting this message when URL #1 above works. The rewrite log shows the following (I added the #numbers): #1 (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /username/ #2 (3) applying pattern '^(.+)$' to uri '/username/' #3 (2) rewrite '/username/' -> '/username//public_html/' #4 (2) local path result: /username//public_html/#5 (2) prefixed with document_root to /users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/public_html/ #6 (1) go-ahead with /users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/public_html/ [OK]
#7 (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /username/index.html #8 (3) applying pattern '^(.+)$' to uri '/username/index.html' #9 (2) rewrite '/username/index.html' -> '/username/index.html/public_html/' #10 (2) local path result: /username/index.html/public_html/#11 (2) prefixed with document_root to /users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/index.html/public_html/ #12 (1) go-ahead with /users/chemweb/apache2/http-cchem/htdocs/username/index.html/public_html/ [OK]
Line #6 above looks correct to me so I don't understand why mod_rewrite tried the other possibilities. I'm guessing all these problem have something to do with directory protection but if this is true then I don't understand why URL #1 works. Any ideas?
