Hello, I have the following http.conf entry: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName domain.com ServerAlias www.domain.com <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On #DenyHosts Rules RewriteMap hosts-deny txt:/home/user/txt/hosts.deny RewriteCond ${hosts-deny:%{REMOTE_HOST}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND [OR] RewriteCond ${hosts-deny:%{REMOTE_ADDR}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND [OR] RewriteCond ${hosts-deny:%{HTTP:true-client-ip}|NOT-FOUND} !=NOT-FOUND RewriteRule ^/.* - [F] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:12080/companies/$1 [P] RequestHeader set X-Base-Path companies/ </IfModule> RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/uk_rewrite.log ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/uk_error.log <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> Is there a way I can put a robots.txt file to reside outside of the rewrite, so that if a the bots look for http://domain.com/robots.txt the rewrite does not push it to the localhost:12080/companies/robots.txt Cheers Norman --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
