(good to know although not needed > now) The RewriteBase (whether configured or guessed) directive, plus a trailing slash, is stripped from the string that RewriteRule compares to in htaccess (or <Directory> context. It's not stripped from e.g. %{REQUEST_URI} when you use that in a REwriteCond or in the actual substitution. e.g. In your docroot, a request for "/" is matched by ^$ but not ^/$, and a request for /foo/bar.html is matched by ^foo/bar.html$ if the context is the docroot, or ^bar.html$ if the context is in the foo subdirectory. > > However I was able to use Redirect /.../ in .htaccess too, it only may not > apply if we specify wrong path. > > -- > Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ > Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address. > Varovanie: na tuto adresu chcem NEDOSTAVAT akukolvek reklamnu postu. > Emacs is a complicated operating system without good text editor. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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 > > -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
