Hi there! I'm having problems setting up a mod_rewrite on Apache 2.2.3. I have an address like this: http://127.0.0.1/~tomek/somesite/register.php and it works ok. I've got a /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/.htaccess file which contains: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ $1.php [L] The rule in this special example is simple (my target one is much more complicated but that's not the problem): it should substiture html with php and that's all. But when requesting this uri: http://127.0.0.1/~tomek/somesite/register.html (HTML instead of PHP) I get this 404 error: "The requested URL /home/tomek/public_html/ somesite/register.php was not found on this server." So mod_rewrite successfully replaced html with php but Apache converted this uri to the filesystem path, don't know why. By the way the file do exists on the filesystem.
I've been searching a lot and one of the tips may be this from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html: "Home directory expansion When the substitution string begins with a string resembling "/ ~user" (via explicit text or backreferences), mod_rewrite performs home directory expansion independent of the presence or configuration of mod_userdir. This expansion does not occur when the PT flag is used on the RewriteRule directive." Unfortunately it does not work, but maybe it's not what my problem is. Mine substitution string does not contain ~user, it actually is "register.html". Does anybody has any idea how to solve this problem? I have to be able to use mod_rewrite with url containing ~user. What is this filesystem conversion from? And this is what RewriteLog says, it looks good to me: teel127.0.0.1 - - [06/Oct/2007:23:05:43 +0200] [127.0.0.1/sid#819e6a8] [rid#839b8c8/initial] (3) [perdir /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/] strip per-dir prefix: /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/register.html -> register.html 127.0.0.1 - - [06/Oct/2007:23:05:43 +0200] [127.0.0.1/sid#819e6a8] [rid#839b8c8/initial] (3) [perdir /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/] applying pattern '(.+)\.html$' to uri 'register.html' 127.0.0.1 - - [06/Oct/2007:23:05:43 +0200] [127.0.0.1/sid#819e6a8] [rid#839b8c8/initial] (2) [perdir /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/] rewrite 'register.html' -> 'register.php' 127.0.0.1 - - [06/Oct/2007:23:05:43 +0200] [127.0.0.1/sid#819e6a8] [rid#839b8c8/initial] (3) [perdir /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/] add per-dir prefix: register.php -> /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/ register.php 127.0.0.1 - - [06/Oct/2007:23:05:43 +0200] [127.0.0.1/sid#819e6a8] [rid#839b8c8/initial] (1) [perdir /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/] internal redirect with /home/tomek/public_html/somesite/register.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT] Best regards, teel --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
