Re: close to success with RewriteRule

["Alain Roger" <raf.news@xxxxxxxxx>]

this is what i have in my .htaccess file and it seems to be ok according to log:
#.htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(de|en|fr)/welcome/$    welcome/index.php?lang=$1 [L]

and in the log:
init rewrite engine with requested uri /se_internet/en/welcome/
pass through /se_internet/en/welcome/
[perdir L:/Webserver/se/internet/] add path info postfix: L:/Webserver/se/internet/en -> L:/Webserver/se/internet/en/welcome/
[perdir L:/Webserver/se/internet/] strip per-dir prefix: L:/Webserver/se/internet/en/welcome/ -> en/welcome/
[perdir L:/Webserver/se/internet/] applying pattern '^(de|en|fr)/welcome/$' to uri 'en/welcome/'
[perdir L:/Webserver/se/internet/] rewrite 'en/welcome/' -> 'welcome/index.php?lang=en'
split uri=welcome/index.php?lang=en -> uri=welcome/index.php, args=lang=en
[perdir L:/Webserver/se/internet/] add per-dir prefix: welcome/index.php -> L:/Webserver/se/internet/welcome/index.php
[perdir L:/Webserver/se/internet/] internal redirect with L:/Webserver/se/internet/welcome/index.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT]
init rewrite engine with requested uri L:/Webserver/se/internet/welcome/index.php
pass through L:/Webserver/se/internet/welcome/index.php


however i get error message:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

my welcome/index.php really and physically exists inside the folder "L:/Webserver/se/internet/"
so what am i doing wrong ?
:-(

thx.

No, the RewriteBase is just the url-path (not protocol/host/post)

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase

welcome/inde.php also has to be valid relative to your htaccess
