Thanks for your response. Here is the setup. I have placed a folder called test at /var/personal_work_area/joydeep The test folder has alice.html and bob.html and the .htaccess is ```` Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html ```` When i visit alice.html apache fires an error at log as ```` [error] [client 192.168.1.100] script '/var/www/index.php' not found or unable to stat ````````````` It should look at /var/personal_work_area/joydeep but here it is looking at /var/www which is defined at the main httpd.conf as document root. -- জয়দীপ বক্সী --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
