hi list, new problem: when i try to add a rewrite just for the base url, it doesn't work and appends the destination url twice and ends up as a 404: how can i accommodate the wild-card and the base path (RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.foobar.com)? # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /techblog RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.foobar.com RewriteRule /about http://www.foobar.com/about [R=301] RewriteRule /(.*)$ http://www.foobar.com/$1 [R=301] On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 3:03 PM, Eric Covener <covener@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 5:53 PM, André Warnier <aw@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi. >> >> Am I interpreting this correctly, that the .htaccess file you are talking >> about, is the one that is in the original /techblog location ? >> >> If so, and without taking my word for it, isn't it so for a RewriteRule that >> is in a .htaccess file in such a location "/techblog", that the original URL >> you are comparing against already has the "/techblog" prefix removed ? >> (because you are "already there" so to speak) >> >> Maybe you want to try this instead : >> >> RewriteRule /(.*)$ http://www.foo.com/$1 [R=301] > > in techblog/.htaccess, "/techblog/" is removed, including the trailing slash. > > -- > Eric Covener > covener@xxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
