[users@httpd] Re: close to success with RewriteRule

local .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymlinks

and my httpd.conf file:

Alias /se_internet/ "L:/Webserver/se/internet/"
> <Directory "L:/Webserver/se/internet/">
>     #Options Indexes MultiViews
>     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/configuring.html#syntax isn't
bulletproof wrt to comments and leading whitespace (although I've
never seen a problem there)

Directives in the configuration files are case-insensitive, but
arguments to directives are often case sensitive. Lines that begin
with the hash character "#" are considered comments, and are ignored.
Comments may not be included on a line after a configuration
directive. Blank lines and white space occurring before a directive
are ignored, so you may indent directives for clarity.

Not exactly, but something like that :
- a line where the first non-blank character is a "#" will always be 
seen as a comment.  The # does not have to be at position 1, but it 
should only have spaces or tabs before it.

That is definitely the safest way.

- apart from that, as I understand it, whether a comment at the end of a 
command will be a problem or not, depends on the type of command.  If it 
is a command that can take several parameters separated by spaces, then 
it will be a problem, because your comment will be understood as a 
parameter.

Anyone with a more rigorous answer ?

[users@httpd] Re: close to success with RewriteRule

Ok, so i finally found the mistake ...
at work it worked because i did not add the comment (#every rewrite rule are
based on /se_internet virtual folder so on L:\Webserver\se\internet\
physical folder
) after: RewriteBase /se_internet
when the comment is removed from the line it works great :-)
so if i understood well, apache understands as comment only and only if the
line starts by "#" character at position 1.
