Subject: mod_rewrite - Error when trying to rewrite one cgi script to another

Hi all,

I am getting a 404 error when trying to rewrite one cgi script to another one such as:

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^from.cgi to.cgi

With this rule above my expectaion is that the following url:

mydomain/cgi-bin/from.cgi will be rewritten to mydomain/cgi-bin/to.cgi.

Instead I get the following error in the browser:

"The requested URL /Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/to.cgi was not found on this server."

This is the error in the error.log

"[Thu Jul 01 10:51:57 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/Program Files"

This is strange as it is referencing the htdocs folder which is not being utulized for this request.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Andy
