[users@httpd] Rewrite rules under 2.2.4
Hi everyone, I've got a little problem here which I'm curious if someone can tell me if its normal or not.
I recently upgraded our servers here from 2.0.49 to 2.2.4. We have a couple of rewrite rules which use to work fine:
RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^/faq/(.*) http://web.csse.uwa.edu.au/school_and_systems_information/faq [L,R=permanent]
That stopped working under 2.2.4, but I've discovered if I create an empty directory called "faq" in the relevent location, then it works ok. Without the directory I get a "File does not exist: /path/faq" in the error log.
So it seems to me some part of Apache is checking to see if the path exists before applying the rule, which means I'd have to have a bundle of empty directories to get my re-write working, which sort of defeats the purpose.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've been trying my voodoo skills with rewrites, but I think its more mumbo-jumbo than voodoo.
Cheers,
Ryan.

Oooh, didn't know about the rewritelog function, pays me for not paying more attention to the logs. Fixed it up now by expanding the regex to cover a wider range of matches. I'm just not sure why it use to work find under the old version, but not the new one. Puzzling, but I'm use to such things on computers.
Thanks,
Ryan.

It seems to me that you're using the rules in per-server context
(leading slash), is that correct?

Only in directory context, but that might change the behavior only under
certain circumstances (hint: r->filename, path-info; enabled MultiViews).

What can you find in your rewrite log (use RewriteLoglevel 5)?
