[users@httpd] Mod-Rewrite within a Mod-Rewrite

[David Blomstrom <da...@yahoo.com>]

This is the rewrite rule for my Reference section, which works:
 
            RewriteRule ^Reference/([a-zA-Z0-9()_/-]+)/?$ Reference/index.php?ref=$1 [L]  
     
     
 

 I'd like to also create a similar Glossary section, like this:
 
                 RewriteRule ^Glossary/([a-zA-Z0-9()_/-]+)/?$ Glossary/index.php?glos=$1 [L]  
     
     
 

 Except I'd like the URL to be MySite/Reference/Glossary. In other words, the Glossary folder will be inside the Reference folder. So I created a new page at Reference/Glossary/index.php, then changed my mod-rewrite rules, as follows:
 
                 RewriteRule ^Reference/Glossary/([a-zA-Z0-9()_/-]+)/?$ Reference/Glossary/index.php?glos=$1 [L] 
 
RewriteRule ^Reference/([a-zA-Z0-9()_/-]+)/?$ Reference/index.php?ref=$1 [L]  
     
     
 

 It now correctly displays URL's with text appended to Reference/Glossary, like MySite/Reference/Glossary/politics. However, I can no longer view the Glossary home page. If I type in MySite/Reference/Glossary, it defaults to http://ivr/Reference/Glossary/?ref=Glossary, and I get a custom Page Not Found error, where I used to get a real page. How can I fix this?
 
 Thanks.

you could ad a rule that does nothing but stop rule processing. For example:

RewriteRule ^(Reference/Glossary)$      $1   [L]

(add this rule before the others.)

This is how I usually do it when I need to get some URLs out of the
whole rewrite processing.
