Alain, let me insist.
Did you configure a RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel, and did you look at the resulting lines, to see what happens ?
It may save you a lot of wondering.
Apart from that, from the above I guess that somewhere you have a config line like
DirectoryIndex index.php
and another one allowing directory indexes, in each of the directories to which you may be redirected. Yes ?
If you did not allow directory indexes in your target directories, then that might explain why Apache is not looking for "index.php" and says "not found".
no problem to insist.
yes i did it as you suggested.
so here is what i have in my httpd.conf file:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
Alias /se_internet/ "L:/Webserver/se/internet/"
<Directory "L:/Webserver/se/internet/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# allow to track all RewriteRules from .htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
www.website.com is replaced by my local ip address from servername.
here is what i have in the rewrite.log file
