Hi :) I've been trying to learn mod_rewrite to do /anything/ and I'm failing. Please take pity on me, oh mighty ones ! ;)
I wanted to use mod_rewrite as a technology test, and to learn something new, but it has simply driven me to distraction... perhaps someone could help? I have a woody box (installed yesterday) with vanilla Apache, and a customer who has three domain names, and hundreds of files in /www/maindomain.ext. They also own anotherdomain.ext and thirddomain.ext, and each domain has a seperate defaultindex page - site1.html, site2.html, site3.html. What I want to do is use mod_rewrite to check the entire URI they requested, and "if http://www.anotherdomain.ext/ or http://anotherdomain.ext is requested, then display site2.html" and so on for the third site. Aside from LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_rewrite.so RewriteEngine On RewriteLog /var/log/apache/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 9 I have this: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> DocumentRoot /www/maindomain.ext ServerName maindomain.ext ServerAlias www.maindomain.ext. ServerAlias anotherdomain.ext ServerAlias www.anotherdomain.ext ServerAlias thirddomain.ext ServerAlias www.thirddomain.ext RewriteRule anotherdomain\.ext\/$ /site2.html RewriteRule thirdomain\.ext\/$ /site3.html </VirtualHost> This is just not doing it for me, and I see nothing in the log file (0 bytes, same permissions/owner as the other access.log/error.log which work fine) In fact, even doing something simple like RewriteRule ^/gdh.* http://www.google.com/ doesn't have the desired effect :/ I'd be very grateful for any suggestions! Cheers, Gavin.
