Thanks Tom for the reply, I'll have to look up how to whack up the log level and where to find the whacked up rewrite log :) Seriously, though, I don't know what log level we need to be at to get a rewrite log or whether or not I need to specify a rewrite log location.
I used LocationMatch because I will have users coming in on lets say these 3 "like" urls: https://yippidy.doodaa.com:8543/pls/test/something.something/moreofstuff Idon'tknow https://yippidy.doodaa.com:8643/pls/devl/something.something/moreofstuff Idon'tknow https://yippidy.doodaa.com:8743/pls/prod/something.something/moreofstuff Idon'tknow Notice the differences in ports and the only difference in the url being the port and the test/devl/prod. There might be a firewall that sits in front that only allows world access to prod's port, whereas test and devl access stay on the local lan. Nothing in the application will prevent a user from typing in "test" on the "prod" port and successfully gain access to the test side from outside the local lan. So a simple "fix", at least to me, was to test to see if they were coming in on a "prod" url, make sure it is on the prod port, and if not, simply rewrite it to be so. If they were coming in on a "test" url but on the prod port, it'd get rewritten to test's port and the firewall would prevent access if they were outside the local lan. If it's just as easy to do that with rewrite conditions, I'm all ears, but I could really use the help with syntax, I'm just a lowly Oracle DBA :) Todd -----Original Message----- From: Tom Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 10:47 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Location/locationmatch on Windows install On Fri, 2008-11-07 at 07:44 -0500, Randall, Todd wrote: > Hi All, > > I've searched and searched and can't find any pertinent info.

Does it work with a RewriteCond? (With LocationMatch, we have to think "did we trigger the location match? If we did, did our RewriteRule match?", with RewriteCond, all we have to think is "Did our cond match, what happened when our rewrite happened", all of which can be answered by whacking on the rewrite log and whacking up the log level.) > > The same exact version/installation of Apache on a Windows XP Server, > same code, same place in the httpd.conf file, will not work.
