Yes, the 2nd argument to RewriteRule is actually a filesystem path and not a URL -- rewrite helps you out sometimes when you use the latter.
Thanks for the help!!Ok I'm encouraged that it's possible, but my example resolves to / ~user/public_html/cgi-bin/, not /~user/cgi-bin/, which is what I want, and what it sounds like you're saying it should do, so how do I get this filesystem behavior?
With the default conf, directory trees are explicitly allowed to be served via "order" and "allow", so whatever you rewrite to will to have a Directory stanza that allows access.
I'm not sure what this means. Sean --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
