[users@httpd] Where to place rewrite rules?

My application uses Apache to run a closed network Kiosk system.  One
of my customers is having very strange performance issues, it is
taking 45 seconds to load 12 thumbnail files that are only about 4K in
size.  I am using some rewrite rules to make dynamic pages and file
handlers look static to the kiosk browsers so they will cache them.

In analyzing my customers log file from running Filemon (Windows tool
to log file IO), it looks like Apache is trying to find the URL before
the RewriteRules are running.  Is this normal?  If not, do I have my
rewrite rules in the right place?

DocumentRoot "D:/MSDev/PhotoParata/httpd/htdocs"
SetEnv TMP "D:/MSDev/PhotoParata/httpd/tmp"
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Satisfy all
</Directory>

<Directory "D:/MSDev/PhotoParata/httpd/htdocs">
    Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    PhotoParataCfg conf/PhotoParata.conf
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2&tn=$3 [L]
    RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)$ index.php?fldoid=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/i/([^/]+)$ index.php?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/p/([\d]*)$ index.php?fldoid=$1&p=$2 [L]
</Directory>

Attached is the file, zipped up.  Extract the .htaccess file and place it in:

C:\Program Files\Miltonstreet Software\Photo Parata733\httpd\htdocs\

Sorry about the last email a few minutes ago, that was meant for my
customer, trying to figure out why Apache is running so slow for
him...

So AllowOverride none does not effect DirectoryIndex?

Ok, so I need to add the leading slash.  The first two rules are to
rewrite the URL for my Apache C Module which I currently have handling
a location.  something is going wrong because I do see in the rewrite
rule log that it is getting rewritten, but the Apache C Module isn't
getting the handler anymore.  Here is what I have right now, not
scoped in anything else:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
/theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2&tn=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^/category/([^/]+)$ /index.php?fldoid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/category/([^/]+)/i/([^/]+)$ /index.php?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/category/([^/]+)/p/([\d]*)$ /index.php?fldoid=$1&p=$2 [L]

<Location /theImage>
    SetHandler promenadeImages	
</Location>

RewriteRules need to be in the proper virtual host, AllowOverride none
prevents apache from looking for .htaccess files

When you pull your rules out of Directory/htaccess,  the URL you're
testing against changes (the per-directory component hasn't been
stripped out -- now it always starts with a slash)

Eric,

When I do the following, the rewrite rules don't seem to work.  Where
should I be placing the rewrite rules and what settings should I have
for AllowOverride to stop it from looking for the .htaccess?

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Satisfy all
</Directory>
<Directory "D:/MSDev/PhotoParata/httpd/htdocs">
	Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    PhotoParataCfg conf/PhotoParata.conf
</Directory>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^images/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$
theImage?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2&tn=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)$ index.php?fldoid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/i/([^/]+)$ index.php?fldoid=$1&imgoid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/]+)/p/([\d]*)$ index.php?fldoid=$1&p=$2 [L]

Is it looking for htaccess?

Probably better to keep your rewriterules outside of htaccess or <Directory>.
