The first two rules are to rewrite the URL for my Apache C Module which I currently have handling a location. something is going wrong because I do see in the rewrite rule log that it is getting rewritten, but the Apache C Module isn't getting the handler anymore. Here is what I have right now, not scoped in anything else: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2&tn=$3 [L] RewriteRule ^/category/([^/]+)$ /index.php?fldoid=$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/category/([^/]+)/i/([^/]+)$ /index.php?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^/category/([^/]+)/p/([\d]*)$ /index.php?fldoid=$1&p=$2 [L] <Location /theImage> SetHandler promenadeImages </Location> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
