debian-user:
I have a Debian 6.0.0 (Squeeze) computer with the "apache" Debian
package installed:
$ cat /etc/debian_version
6.0
$ sudo apache2ctl -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian)
Server built: Jan 1 2011 21:57:31
I am trying to learn about the Apache rewrite module via "Apache HTTP
Server Version 2.2 Documentation" "URL Rewriting Guide" "useful
examples" "From Static to Dynamic":
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html#static-to-dynamic
I have enabled the Rewrite module:
$ ll /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Feb 19 20:00
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load -> ../mods-available/rewrite.load
I have created a virtual host and some files for testing:
$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/apache-sandbox-p43400e.holgerdanske.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName apache-sandbox-p43400e.holgerdanske.com
DocumentRoot /home/dpchrist/apache-sandbox/public_html
RewriteLog /home/dpchrist/apache-sandbox/log/rewrite.log
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/dpchrist/apache-sandbox/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>
$ cat apache-sandbox/public_html/rewrite/.htaccess
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script pl
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /rewrite/
RewriteRule ^rewrite\.html$ rewrite.pl [H=cgi-script]
$ cat apache-sandbox/public_html/rewrite/index.html
<html>
<body>
Apache 2.2 Rewrite demonstration
<ul>
<li>CGI script <a href="rewrite.pl">rewrite.pl</a></li>
<li>Virtual HTML page <a href="rewrite.html">rewrite.html</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
$ cat apache-sandbox/public_html/rewrite/rewrite.pl
#! /usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
print "whoami: ", `whoami`, "\n";
When I browse the web page and CGI script, all is well:
$ wget -q -O - http://apache-sandbox-p43400e.holgerdanske.com/rewrite/
<html>
<body>
Apache 2.2 Rewrite demonstration
<ul>
<li>CGI script <a href="rewrite.pl">rewrite.pl</a></li>
<li>Virtual HTML page <a href="rewrite.html">rewrite.html</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
$ wget -q -O -
http://apache-sandbox-p43400e.holgerdanske.com/rewrite/rewrite.pl
whoami: www-data
But when I try to use the Rewrite feature, I see two problems:
1. When I try to browse the virtual HTML page, Apache can't find the
script:
$ sudo apache2ctl graceful; sudo rm apache-sandbox/log/rewrite.log
$ wget -S -q -O -
http://apache-sandbox-p43400e.holgerdanske.com/rewrite/rewrite.html
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

2. The rewrite log is empty and owned by root:
$ ll apache-sandbox/log/rewrite.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 20
21:57 apache-sandbox/log/rewrite.log
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David
