I started translating some stuff under misc and I noticed it's way out of date. For example, there's "Moved DocumentRoot" example in http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/misc/rewriteguide.html.en#ToC2
The example configuration is RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/$ /e/www/ [R] and it even goes to say it cannot be done by mod_alias because all mod_alias con do is prefix matching. But mod_alias can do more than mere prefix matching and even with my limited mod_rewrite and mod_alias knowledge, I know it is equivalent to RedirectMatch ^/$ /e/www/ After glancing through the whole document, I'm ++1 to Rich's idea to write our rewrite cookbook (actually, I prefer more general url mapping cookbook. mod_alias is powerful enough unless you really need to use black magic). In the meantime, I'm tempted to rip things that can also be handled by mod_alias off of rewriteguide and use it as seeds to populate urlmappingguide or whatever the new name of that document. I'm not very comfortable that we are knowingly recommending the use of mod_rewrite where mod_alias is sufficient. Opinions? I also want to clean up the rewriteguide docs further at later time, but I want to start small and finish one thing at a time. -- Yoshiki Hayashi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
