Ok, I added RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel 9 and have a rewrite log now. When I hit that URL I get: (3) [per-dir /htdocs/] applying pattern '^/(.*)$' to uri 'd:/oas10gr2/apache/apache/htdocs//testfororacle/index.html' (1) [per-dir /htdocs/] pass through d:/oas10gr2/apache/apache/htdocs//testfororacle/index.html I don't understand that, but does it confirm what you were thinking? What should I change it to for a test?
