Hello Eric, Thank you for the response. Yes it is a virtual host and I am using the following directives for it: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot "/www/somedomain.com" <Directory /www/somedomain.com> AllowOverride All </Directory> ServerName www.somedomain.com ServerAlias somedomain.com www.somedomain.co.uk somedomain.co.uk ErrorLog "logs/www.somedomain.com-error.log" CustomLog "logs/www.somedomain.com-access.log" common </VirtualHost> I have hardened Apache though I did try changing the directives in httpd.conf for /www to have AllowOveride All as-well but to no-avail. It seems odd though that a normal re-direct is working fine. -- Thanks, Phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
