Hello list, Here in debian lenny the rewrite rules are working well. I have checked by this .htaccess and successful ```````````````````` DirectoryIndex index.php RewriteEngine On #RewriteRule ^typo3$ - [L] #RewriteRule ^typo3/.*$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* index.php ``````````````` Now I like to place the rewrite stuff in apache configuration so that I don't need to place .htaccess for all the sites. and here is the config I have placed in apache ``````````````````````` <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews # .htaccess slows down apache; only use it when required # AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all ### Begin: Rewrite stuff for typo3 ### <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> # Enable URL rewriting RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* index.php [L] </IfModule> </Directory> ```````````````````````````````` restart apache and remove the .htaccess from webroot directory of the site. the rewite stuff is not working now !!! Is it a problem with <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> which is not recognized here in lenny ? Does anyone have any idea or faced the same problem. BTW: The above config running fine with opensuse 11.2 Thanks -- জয়দীপ বক্সী --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
