OK apologies, it does work.  I setup a test virtual server copying the
defintion from the live server, pointing to he same files and the test
one works. Odd odd odd.

Tail from the live VS:

172.16.2.254 - - [22/Aug/2005:09:44:46 +0100]
[domain.com/sid#8101e20][rid#84424a0/initial] (1) pass through /abbey

Yet on the test VS:

172.16.2.254 - - [22/Aug/2005:09:41:54 +0100]
[test/sid#81031e0][rid#844cc08/ initial] (1) pass through /abbey/
172.16.2.254 - - [22/Aug/2005:09:41:54 +0100]
[test/sid#81031e0][rid#8481e00/ subreq] (2) init rewrite engine with
requested uri /abbey/index.html
172.16.2.254 - - [22/Aug/2005:09:41:54 +0100]
[test/sid#81031e0][rid#8481e00/ subreq] (3) applying pattern
'^/([^/]*)/?$' to uri '/abbey/index.html'

There's no call to the rewrite engine on the live server.


Not sure what could be causing that ... here's the defintion and as you
can see they are the same - except for a ServerAlias line.

Live:

I'm using apache 2.0.46.

Do you think that server alias line could be the problem?
