Hi all,
I'm new to this and have never used mod-rewrite before or used regular
expressions.
We have a need to mod_rewrite a link. Below is what I'm using in a
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^overview$ /guide/index.cfm?item=Chapter&Chapter_ID=C342 [L]
The problem is that "overview" is the name of a subdirectory under
guide, so I get an error (403 I think)
when it tries to rewrite. I can't rename the subdirectory and the users
are demanding that they be able to use just the word "overview" as a
hyperlink.
Any suggestions? And I'm under a major time constraint :(
What does the error log say? What does the RewriteLog say?
The easist way to do this would be to put the RewriteRule in the main
server config rather than in .htaccess. Then you can simply use
RewriteRule ^/guide/overview$ /guide/index.cfm?item=Chapter&Chapter_ID=C342 [L]
