[users@httpd] close to success with RewriteRule
Hi,
i'm closed to succeed with RewriteRule, i just have 1 last issue
when i use:
RewriteRule ^(de|en|fr)/welcome/$ /welcome/index.php?lang=$1 [L]
everything which looks like en/welcome will be rewritten
/welcome/index.php?lang=en
this works fine... i only have 1 problem. /welcome/... does not exist in the
current context.
it exists only as http://my_ip_address/myroot/welcome/
so i tried to use RewriteBase /my_ip_address/myroot/ but without success.
how can i redirect each rule to http://my_ip_address/myroot/ ?
(without hardcoding each rewriterule as following: RewriteRule
^(de|en|fr)/welcome/$
http://my_ip_address/myroot/welcome/index.php?lang=$1 [L])
thanks a lot

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/configuring.html#syntax isn't
bulletproof wrt to comments and leading whitespace (although I've
never seen a problem there)
Directives in the configuration files are case-insensitive, but
arguments to directives are often case sensitive. Lines that begin
with the hash character "#" are considered comments, and are ignored.
Comments may not be included on a line after a configuration
directive. Blank lines and white space occurring before a directive
are ignored, so you may indent directives for clarity.

Not exactly, but something like that :
- a line where the first non-blank character is a "#" will always be
seen as a comment. The # does not have to be at position 1, but it
should only have spaces or tabs before it.
That is definitely the safest way.
- apart from that, as I understand it, whether a comment at the end of a
command will be a problem or not, depends on the type of command. If it
is a command that can take several parameters separated by spaces, then
it will be a problem, because your comment will be understood as a
parameter.
Anyone with a more rigorous answer ?

Ok, so i finally found the mistake ...
at work it worked because i did not add the comment (#every rewrite rule are
based on /se_internet virtual folder so on L:\Webserver\se\internet\
physical folder
) after: RewriteBase /se_internet
when the comment is removed from the line it works great :-)
so if i understood well, apache understands as comment only and only if the
line starts by "#" character at position 1.

No, the RewriteBase is just the url-path (not protocol/host/post)

Your rules are in htaccess. if you drop the leading slash of your
replacement string, ti will be interpeted as relative to your
RewriteBase (but your RewriteBase can't just be made up, it has to be
the URL that got you there)
