Hello, I am trying to get my head around a behaviour I have seen on 2.4, but not affecting 2.2.
Has anyone seen this? I am using a DirectoryIndex: DirectoryIndex index.php As well as a rewrite rule in a .htaccess file: RewriteRule ^$ index_download.php [L] If I access the folder, the RewriteRule is not triggered because the DirectoryIndex is now part of the URL-path, which was not the case in 2.2, where the URL would trigger the rule. Which change is responsible for this? Furthermore, if I change it to: RewriteRule ^(?:|index\.php)$ index_download.php [L] and enable log level2, I see the following logs, if I access the URL: [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042219 2014] [rewrite:trace2] [pid 5960]: rewrite '' -> 'index_download.php' [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042266 2014] [rewrite:trace2] [pid 5960]: strip document_root prefix: /var/www/html/htdocs/index_download.php -> /index_download.php [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042272 2014] [rewrite:trace1] [pid 5960]: internal redirect with /index_download.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT] [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042601 2014] [rewrite:trace2] [pid 5960]: rewrite 'index.php' -> 'index_download.php' [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042615 2014] [rewrite:trace2] [pid 5960]: strip document_root prefix: /var/www/html/htdocs/index_download.php -> /index_download.php [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042619 2014] [rewrite:trace1] [pid 5960]: internal redirect with /index_download.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT] [Mon Oct 27 10:57:35.042981 2014] [rewrite:trace1] [pid 5960]: pass through /var/www/html/htdocs/index_download.php Why are they 2 blocks, one for '', one for 'index.php'? I would expect only one... Also, it seems the one for '' does not result in any rewrite, only the second one does. Is this expected? Julien Etter
