[users@httpd] Can't get mod_rewrite to do anything
Hi,
I'm using apache2 on Debian, and have the following in
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf,
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite_log
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/index.html /index.php
I don't get any errors on apache2 start, but the rule doesn't work.
I've tried a bunch of other rules too, and I can't get any simple
RewriteRules to do anything. It created the rewrite_log log file, but
it is empty, so I do not even know where to look to track down the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ken

That was it - I put it in the default vhost file and it's working now.
Thanks!

The debian apache layout usually includes a default virtual host in a
directory called sites-enabled. If you 've got one of those, your
rewrite rules in the main server context will have no effect. There
are two ways around this, either move the rules in to the default
vhost, or add RewriteEngine On and RewriteOptions Inherit to that
vhost.
