[users@httpd] Apache & mod_rewrite

[Oliver Kirchel <ki...@gutenberg-rz.de>]

Hi,
I have a problem with mod_rewrite.

I want to type http://www.test.com/shop/ and the URL should go to
http://www.test.com/perl/shop.pl , but in the browser you should only
see the first URL http://www.test.com/shop/ .

How can I do this ?

Without mod_rewrite:

ScriptAlias <abs-path>/perl/ /shop/
<Directory <abs-path>/perl/>
    DirectoryIndex shop.pl
</Directory>

So when someone hits the http://www.test.com/shop/, they will actually 
access perl/shop.pl - wherever it is on the filesystem

With mod_rewrite, once you rewrite the /shop/ to /perl/shop.pl, that's 
what the browser will show, since rewrite does pattern match and 
substitution.
