hi i am trying to get mod_rewrite working for my apache server ( apache 2.2.8 ).
my virtual host files ( vhost.conf ) looks something like this : ########################################################################## NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName agnello.sys.qualiproj.qualispace.com ServerAlias www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.com DocumentRoot /websites/agnello.com/web <Directory /websites/agnello.com/web/*> Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^bob.html$ index.html </Directory> ErrorLog /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.error_log CustomLog /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.access_logcombined TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /websites/ agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.access_log 5M" TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /websites/ agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.error_log 5M" </VirtualHost> ###################################################################### My basic aim is to check if mod_rewrirte works . In the httpd.conf the following lines exist so the modules are loaded !! LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so i add a ( very simple ) rule to rewriite on the url anything matching the pattern bob.html ---- to index.html But when i try to browse *http://<http://www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.quali.com/bob.html> *www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.com/bob.html its still shows me the html page for bob.html and not index.html. no error logs found !! Can any one help me with this. Thanks -- Regards Agnello Dsouza www.linux-vashi.blogspot.com
