Greetings, === Context === I recently had to write a rewrite rule and after a few fail, decided to read carefully online documentation. After understanding the base problem of RewriteRule in .htaccess files (which I did experiment), I put a rule in the vhost config file. The rule seems to work since the pattern is match and the location is correctly rewrited. What I don't understand is that after the substitution, apache look for the file by prepending document_root (/htdocs on my server) to the substitution. But I use VirtualDocumentRoot and no DocumentRoot so that my files are usually accessed via the value of VirtualDocumentRoot. So here is the question : === Question === Why does apache not use the value of VirtualDocumentRoot to prepend RewriteRule substitutions ? I found this bug report https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26052 which seems quite close to what I am experiencing except that users complains more about effects on PHP scripts. === My server configuration === VirtualDocumentRoot /srv/www/%-2.0.%-1/%-3+/ RewriteRule ^/(.*)/chapitre-([0-9]*)-([a-z]*)\.poule$ /$1/index.php?id=$2&lang=$3 URI accessed : http://plume.hadaly.fr/collections/recherche/sujet/chapitre-78- fr.poule I don't paste the other informations as they seems to me irrelevant for this concern. This rule works with a [R] flag fail with the following logs : 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /collections/recherche/sujet/chapitre-78-fr.poule 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (3) applying pattern '^/(.*)/chapitre-([0-9]*)-([a- z]*)\.poule$' to uri '/collections/recherche/sujet/chapitre-78-fr.poule' 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (2) rewrite '/collections/recherche/sujet/chapitre-78- fr.poule' -> '/collections/recherche/sujet/index.php?id=78&lang=fr' 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (3) split uri=/collections/recherche/sujet/index.php?id=78&lang=fr -> uri=/collections/recherche/sujet/index.php, args=id=78&lang=fr 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (2) local path result: /collections/recherche/sujet/index.php 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (2) prefixed with document_root to /htdocs/collections/recherche/sujet/index.php 132.227.76.62 - - [14/Jan/2010:18:22:24 +0100] [plume.hadaly.fr/sid#24a33f0] [rid#279b258/initial] (1) go-ahead with /htdocs/collections/recherche/sujet/index.php [OK] The most interesting part to me is the local path result which is coherent if it is prepended by the VirtualDocumentRoot value and the message "prefixed with document_root". What does I wrongly assume or understand ? Thanks for you help or any advice. Best regards, Thomas Preud'homme
