[users@httpd] mod_rewrite doesn't always prefix with document_root
I've got the following rule in my config:
rewriterule ^/e3/(.*) /misc/e3/$1 [L]
It doesn't work. If I change the "/misc" to "/test", it does.
Here's what's in the rewrite log for the bad case: (edited for brevity)
(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /e3/index.html
(3) applying pattern '\.ini$' to uri '/e3/index.html'
(3) applying pattern '^/e3/(.*)' to uri '/e3/index.html'
(2) rewrite /e3/index.html -> /misc/e3/index.html
(2) local path result: /misc/e3/index.html
(1) go-ahead with /misc/e3/index.html [OK]
Here's the good case:
(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /e3/index.html
(3) applying pattern '\.ini$' to uri '/e3/index.html'
(3) applying pattern '^/e3/(.*)' to uri '/e3/index.html'
(2) rewrite /e3/index.html -> /test/e3/index.html
(2) local path result: /test/e3/index.html
(2) prefixed with document_root to /var/httpd/sandbox/test/e3/index.html
(1) go-ahead with /var/httpd/sandbox/test/e3/index.html [OK]
Notice how in the good case it's doing "prefixed with document_root
to..." Why would it skip that in the first case? Is it because I have
a /misc directory on my filesystem? How do I get it to always look
within the document_root first?

suggestion.

Do you happen to have a /misc/e3 directory off your filesystem root?
If so, mod_rewrite assumes you want that.

i should have just RTFM... the answer is %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}
i'm all set now, thanks

is there a way to substitute the documentroot variable instead of
hardcoding it? we have the same rewrite file used by many many
virtualhosts, and being able to refer to just /misc/whatever and have it
automatically map to the correct docroot would be extremely valuable.
the idea that adding or removing top level directories could change the
behavior of my rewriterules is disturbing...

Exactly, that's normal behavior in per-server context.

Prefix your substitution with the DocumentRoot, so that it becomes a
full physical path
rewriterule ^/e3/(.*) /var/httpd/sandbox/misc/e3/$1 [L]
