Hi everyone, I've got a little problem here which I'm curious if
someone can tell me if its normal or not.
I recently upgraded our servers here from 2.0.49 to 2.2.4. We have a
couple of rewrite rules which use to work fine:
RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^/faq/(.*)
http://web.csse.uwa.edu.au/school_and_systems_information/faq [L,R=permanent]
That stopped working under 2.2.4, but I've discovered if I create an
empty directory called "faq" in the relevent location, then it works ok.
Without the directory I get a "File does not exist: /path/faq" in the error log.
So it seems to me some part of Apache is checking to see if the path
exists before applying the rule, which means I'd have to have a bundle of empty
directories to get my re-write working, which sort of defeats the purpose.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've been trying my voodoo skills with
rewrites, but I think its more mumbo-jumbo than voodoo.
Cheers,
Ryan.
