Hi All, I've searched and searched and can't find any pertinent info. Please believe me, I'm sending to this list as my last resort.
Is there some trick to location or locationmatch syntax on an Apache on Windows installation vs. an Apache on Unix / Linux installation? I suppose I should also tell you this is Apache built into the Oracle Application Server, which is an older version, 1.3.31.0.0. I also have a support ticket open with Oracle for a good week now. I have this code, at the very end of the httpd.conf file, on a Linux installation, and it works perfectly fine: <LocationMatch ^.*/pls/test.*> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^8543$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://yippidy.doodaa.com:8543%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R] </LocationMatch> The same exact version/installation of Apache on a Windows XP Server, same code, same place in the httpd.conf file, will not work. I can comment out the LocationMatch, and the rewrite kicks in and works fine, but for the life of me I cannot get the LocationMatch to kick in. I've even just tried a Location test (using just http in case https was buggy) on a simple directory like this: <VirtualHost *:81> ServerName yippidy.doodaa.com DocumentRoot "D:\oas10gR2\Apache\Apache\htdocs\testfororacle" DirectoryIndex index.htm Alias /htdocs D:\oas10gR2\Apache\Apache\htdocs/ </VirtualHost> <Location /htdocs/testfororacle> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://yippidy.doodaa.com/index.html.en [L,R] </Location> Works perfect when converted to Linux, will not kick in on Windows. Unfortunately, I cannot change this Windows install to Linux. What could I possibly be missing on the Windows side?
