[users@httpd] RewriteRules in httpd.conf don't work in 2.0.51
Hi there. I haven't tried this with any previous versions of Apache, so i don't
know if this is a bug introduced with .51. If I have the following in my
httpd.conf:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog conf/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteRule .* http://www.foo.com [R]
Then nothing happens. Nothing gets written to rewrite_log, and no redirect
takes place. This occurs with any RewriteRule I try. If I put the same
directives into a .htaccess file somewhere, the rule works exactly as
expected for the directory the .htaccess file is in.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug?

Ah, I didn't realize virtual hosts didn't inherit global rewrite rules by
default, since it seems every other global directive is inherited. Adding:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit
inside the appropriate virtualhost section fixed the problem. I'm not sure why
the rule still didn't work when I took out all the virtualhosts, but I'll just
guess that was a weird typo or something. I'm also not sure why the rule didn't
work when put inside the virtualhost in the first place, but it works now. Weird.
Thanks.

They must either be inside the appropriate virtual host or you must
set the appropriate RewriteOptions (and RewriteEngine) directive
inside the virtualhost. Try it again with the correct placement.

Yes, I do have virtual hosts. I've tried putting the Rewrite directives any
place I could think of in the config - the beginning, the middle (both globally,
before any virtualhosts), inside the appropriate virtualhost, the end (outside
the virtualhost sections), all to no avail. I've even tried getting rid of all
of the virtualhosts completely, but rewriting still doesn't work.

You are probably putting it in the wrong place in the config file.
Exactly where is it going? Are you using virtual hosts?

Have you tried this format for the match expression?
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.foo.com [R]
I have many instances where an un-bounded expression in a RewriteRule
doesn't match on anything in the URL. Once I add in the boundary
characters, they work as expected.
