thanks for the note... i added
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog "/etc/httpd/logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteRule ^/mydirectory/(.*) https://myhost/mydirectory/$1 [R]
RewriteLog "/etc/httpd/logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteRule ^/mydirectory/(.*) https://myhost/mydirectory/$1 [R]
it works! i don't know what the log does
because its always blank.
