[users@httpd] Should be easy RewriteRule issue: mod_rewrite.
Hi,
Can you please help me with this RewriteRule. I am trying to all users of my website to type in:
www.mysite.com/area1
and have it re-written to:
www.mysite.com/servMainSite?inner=area1
The slight complication is that /img, /css and /menu have to work as of course does /servMainSite. At the moment I am getting an infinite loop with the following:
# RewriteRule !^/(servMainSite.*|img.*|css.*|menu.*)/ /servMainSite?inner=$1 [R,L]
Hope you can help.
Andoni.

Hi,
Found the problem. The PT worked. I think it's because I am forwarding everything to my Tomcat server using JkMount. This must be a form of Alias?
Anyway all working now. Thanks,
Andoni.

Then you need to use the RewriteLog to figure out what is going on.
One possibility is to add the PT flag to the RewriteRule, which is
necessary if the URL will go through further aliasing.

Hi,
Removing the "R" broke it :-(
Now when I go to www.mydomain.com/frontpage it does not re-write it at all, just giving me back a "page cannot be found" instead.

The two types of redirect are discussed at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/urlmapping.html
It is assumed that you wouldn't possibly dare trying to read the
mod_rewrite docs unless you are already a url-guru ;-)
Seriously, there is a "rewrite" of the mod_rewrite docs underway at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/rewrite/
but it is kind of stalled.

Now why could the documentation not have said that?
You have no idea what that means to me! I am about to go and re-write several of the Virtual Hosts on my web-server to use that content redirection.
My thanks,
Andoni.

The R indicates an external redirect, meaning the client is asked to
refetch the resource at the new location (and you'll notice a change
in the client's URL-bar). If you omit the R (which I would recommend
in this case), the server will fetch the content at the new location
and return it to the client as if it was at the old location.

Hi Joshua (and all),
That worked great thanks, I had to take out the caret ^ you had at the beginning of /servMainSite in the RewriteRule to make it work but otherwise fine. Here's what I ended up with:
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/img
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/robots.txt
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/css
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/menu
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/servMainSite
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /servMainSite?inner=$1 [R,QSA,L]
I also added the R flag. Mainly because I always have done and it has always worked for me! The documentation is so confusing though, can you tell me if it is necessary? When I look at the RewriteLog I find that it has now got a 302 is this what I want? Should I add a "permanent" flag?
Thanks,
Andoni

There are several ways to do this. Here's one:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/img
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} !^/css
...
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ^/servMainSite?inner=$1 [QSA,L]
