[users@httpd] apache httpd.conf and .htaccess
Hi,
as you can read in my signature i run apache 2.2.4 under windows XP SP3 and
i have a stupid question about httpd.conf file.
basic installation of apache 2.2.4 under windows XP generates a httpd.conf
file.
in this default file, AccessFileName does not exist... so i add the
following line:
> AccessFileName .htaccess
>
after in order to all local .htaccess file (from whatever folder i want, i
defined my directory options as following:
> Alias /se_internet/ "L:/Webserver/se/internet/"
> <Directory "L:/Webserver/se/internet/">
> #Options Indexes MultiViews
> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
> AllowOverride All
> Order allow,deny
> Allow from all
> </Directory>
>
under my browser FF3, when i run http://my.IP.address/se_internet/error.html,
instead to redirect me on http://my.IP.address/se_internet/find.html, i get
a nice 400 error message:
Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not
understand.
any idea ?
thanks a lot,
--
Alain

Ok, then
1) I think that the subject of your message is not very good, if you
want to get answers. Your problem is not really in httpd.conf and
htaccess, it is a problem with mod_rewrite, and you should say so in the
subject, to attract the mod_rewrite specialists, of which I am not.
2) I started using mod_rewrite myself last week, so my knowledge about
it is rather limited. But I would suggest this :
- forget the .htaccess file for now, and since this is your own test
server, move the Rewrite lines into http.conf, at the end.
So, at the end of httpd.conf, add :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /path-to-logfile
RewriteLogLevel 9 (to get a logfile with full details)
RewriteRule ^error.html$ find.html [L]
then restart your server, retry your access, and look at the logfile
/path-to-logfile above.
That's the purpose of the logfile, to help you see what happens.
mod_rewrite will tell you step by step what it does to the original URL,
up to the resulting URL.
Even not being a mod_rewrite specialist, I would also suggest to modify
your rewrite rule as follows then :
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/error.html$ /$1/find.html [L]

Hi Andre,
ok, basically i'm just testing at home the mod_rewrite module from apache,
so i took an example from internet.
basically when i type http://my.IP.address/se_internet/error.html in my
browser address bar, i should be redirected (apache should rewrite address
as) to http://my.IP.address/se_internet/find.html.
is it clearer ?
to do so, i need to have an .htaccess file where i wrote thi RewriteRule.
instead of doing so (rewrite address), my browser displays a 400 error
message :-(
here are my files:
# --- httpd.conf ---
Alias /se_internet/ "L:/Webserver/se/internet/"
<Directory "L:/Webserver/se/internet/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# --- .htaccess ---
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^error.html$ find.html [L]
> under my browser FF3, when i run
>> http://my.IP.address/se_internet/error.html,
>> instead to redirect me on http://my.IP.address/se_internet/find.html, i
>> get

Hi Alain.
Someone might be willing to help, but you are not being very clear about
what you want to do, what is supposed to do it, or when..
Above you say : instead to redirect me...
What exactly is supposed to re-direct what ? the part of your
configuration file that you copied does not show anything that should
redirect anywhere.
Can you provide the whole httpd.conf maybe ?
