What version of Apache are you running? Try adding DirectoryIndex index.html to your configuration and restart the server. If you get an error, you do not have mod_dir loaded. You can also check your LoadModule directives for one loading mod_dir, or do httpd -l to see if it is statically linked into the httpd binary. You can also do GET http://myhost.foo.bar/server-info and look for the mod_dir configuration (if you have that moduled installed...)
I am using Apache 2.0.54 and it works perfectly. I set up a test VH to test the rules I posted previously. I replaced abbey with manual and did GET http://labelle16.foo.bar:81/manual. Got a redirection (HTTP 301) to http://labelle16.foo.bar:81/manual/ and the manual index page was displayed. The rewrite rules are not the cause of your problem. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Nick Gushlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 1:04 PM To: Krist van Besien Cc: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mod_rewrite problem First off thanks for your help, I clicked reply not reply all before so I wanted to say thanks publicly so I don't look too ungrateful. :-) On Fri, 2005-08-19 at 10:57 +0200, Krist van Besien wrote: > > > > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*abbey(.*) > > A better way to "short circuit" is just to add a > > RewriteRule .*abbey.* - [L] > > before the existing rule. This keeps the URL unchanged. That rule didn't work for me and stopped the other rule working correctly. I need to get my test server back up got it down for other purposes atm, then I'll get some logs posted to show what happened.
