Hi all: I'm having a problem. I'm using an external rewriteMap in apache: RewriteMap mp3-map prg:/home/puffboy/playsong.cgi RewriteRule ^/mp3com/(.*) ${mp3-map:$1} [R] .... now if the program /home/puffboy/playsong.cgi contains a mysql $dbh->connect() statement, the it fails & the rewriteRule doesn't work. If I take the connect statement out, it works fine... any ideas? has anyone seen this before? thanks paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
