[users@httpd] Checking if file or directory exist
Hello everyone,
So I'm still fighting with mod_rewrite a little but I have made
progress... Basically, what I am looking to do now, is check to see if
a file/folder exists and if not rewrite and give control to my p.php
script to look it up in the database.
Here are the rules that I'm using:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /p.php [L]
Now, that part works just fine, but what I can't seem to work out is
the sublinks. I have some links that look like this: HTTP://purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=jasonpruim112
Now mail.php exists and so it should NOT be rewriting, but it is...
Basically... If someone goes to mail.php?purl=jasonpruim112 I want
mail.php to handle the request... Am I making sense?
Anyone have any clue what I need to do?
Thanks for looking!

Doh. I forgot to mention that moving to the .htaccess file would require
apache to allow overrides in that directory. That was my default setting
in my testing environment, so I didn't even think of it. If all else
fails, I find checking the apache error log can sometimes reveal things
that you may not have known were going wrong.
At any rate, it sounds like you're all set now!

Hey Justin,
You are correct that jasonpruim112 does not exist but is linked in a
database... Although, I did some searching on the net and fighting
with my config files and noticed that AllowOverides was set to none
rather then all....
Once I made that switch both the main link, and the internal links all
started working properly.
Sometimes I hate how picky computers can be hehehe.

Log directives cannot be used in .htaccess files (it could be a
potential security hole to allow a user to specify their own logs,
hammer the site with requests, then fill up a partition). Normally you
would receive a 500 error code and a message in the apache error logging
stating the directory is not allowed. You can, however, just leave it in
the global/virtualhost apache config.

It is optional. It all depends on your setup/usage as to whether you
need to use it.

You shouldn't have to worry about capturing any query string since you
are performing an internal rewrite (the URL stays the same for the
user). Referring back to your other email (which I mistakenly nuked
already)...
--------------------
That is odd.... I moved the rewrite rules to a .htaccess file and now
the real links work right, but the false links don't go into my handeler
script... in other words
http://purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=jasonpruim112 works but
http://purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112 does NOT...
Here is my .htaccess file... Does it look right?
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/log/purl.virt.rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /p.php [L]
--------------------
So there is no file/directory called jasonpruim112
<http://purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112>, correct? I copied your
.htaccess file (removing the RewriteLog* references) and it correctly
rewrites the URL request for /jasonpruim112
<http://purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112> to p.php. Is this not
what you are seeing?

after you load purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112 there will be a
link to http://purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=jasonpruim112
The basic premise I have been working off of is just simply if the
file exists, let that file handle serving the page, if it DOESN"T
exist pass it to p.php to handle it.
So with that understanding I don't think that I need to capture
anything in the rewritecond's other then if the file exists correct?

You're not capturing or passing anything, and how do you get to mail.php?

That is odd.... I moved the rewrite rules to a .htaccess file and now
the real links work right, but the false links don't go into my
handeler script... in other words http://purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=jasonpruim112
works but http://purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112 does NOT...
Here is my .htaccess file... Does it look right?
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

According to this log, the request to just
http://purl.scherurprinting.com/mail.php is also being rewritten now...?
Wasn't this one working before (in the initial email)?
I did a quick test inside a VirtualHost instead of .htaccess and, sure
enough, the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} became just "/mail.php". It looks like
Apache is stripping off the DocumentRoot from %{REQUEST_FILENAME} when
used in the apache config. Try moving the rewrite settings to an
.htaccess file and see what the log shows (especially for the "input="
line). If it works, and it is a feasible solution, I'd go that route. It
also allows you to modify the rewrite rules without forcing an apache
reload.

But /volumes/raider/webserver/purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php is
valid... that is the entire file system path... but it's there :)
Would this be easier to setup in a .htaccess file?

What does the rewrite log entry look like when you try to just access
http://purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php (without the query string)?
I noticed that the input for the write rule is "/mail.php" (as opposed
to /volumes/raider/webserver/purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php). Since
that file really doesn't exist, it fails the file test. This might be
due to the differences in rewrite rules in the apache config versus
.htaccess. Do you have a RewriteBase set in the config? It looks like
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} is not being evaluated to the full path of the file.
I haven't had a chance to test myself in a VirtualHost config setup.

Maybe mail.php is under your docroot, but purl/mail.php isn't.

Hey Justin,
Thanks for the reply.
The rules are being applied from a virtual host config, so as high up
the chain as it can go.
And since I was running into issues, I set the rewrite log up to 9 and
here is the output that I just got from it:

I threw together a quick test with the same rewrite rules you mentioned
above and it seems to work properly for me. Are these rules defined in
an .htaccess file or the apache config? I know that rewrite rules can
act a little differently between the two locations. Are there any other
rewrite rules being invoked? Can you turn on the rewrite logging to see
exactly what mod_rewrite is doing?
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteLog /path/to/rewrite.log
