mod_rewrite has a design problem where it tries to guess if you're rewriting to a URL or a local Path by looking at the first segment of your substitution.
If it exists in the filesystem it uses it as a path. If it doesn't, it prepends the document root. I believe simply adding the [PT] flag will force it to always be treated as a URL substitution. This is why things in the file system root behave differently. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
