I'm no expert on this, but my impression is that .htaccess should be somewhere between the directory that has your domain root and the base directory of web2py (from your URLs, this looks like the same directory). FWIW, when I set up a rewrite for mod_proxy and the welcome app, I ended up with something like this: RewriteRule ^(welcome(/.*)?)$ http://127.0.0.1:8666/$1 [P] You don't want the [P], of course, and the other details will vary, but note that my pattern does not include http://. Also, you don't want ^ in your replacement pattern. Looking at your server log can help with this, once you're rewriting *something*. I started by rewriting ^.*$ to foo, and seeing what the log had to say; that's how I noticed that I didn't want the http://. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
