[users@httpd] rewrite problem

[Klavs Klavsen <kl...@vsen.dk>]

Hi guys,

I've spent several days on this problem of mine (incl. googleing) and
now I'm forced to ask you.

I've tried this with both apache-1.3 and 2.0.46.

I need to use the mod_vhost_alias directive
VirtualDocumentRoot.
I've set to Documentroot to /www and I am then using 
virtualdocumentroot /www/-2/html 
to automatically map the user to the correct path.

f.ex. www.test.dk becomes /www/test/html/

It works flawlessly.

Now comes the problem.

I have a long list of rewriterules, which rewrite from f.ex. Page-1.html
to index.php?pageid=1 and so forth. But if I use the plain rewriterule
(which works in a normal virtualhost) it tries to find the index.php
file at the DocumentRoot (which is /www) instead of at the
VirtualDocumentRoot). :(

I've been reading up on how to fix this, and have tried several things.
My latest try is this, which I can't seem to figure out why it doesn't
work:

Options FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions 'inherit'

RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower

# don't try to urls not ending in .html
RewriteRule !^([^/]*)/([^/]+)\.html$ - [L]

# match www.*.*
RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}              ^www\.[^.]+\.[^-]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule   ^(.+)                     ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}}$1 [C]
RewriteRule   ^www\.([^.]+)\.([^/.]+)(.*)       $3      [E=VHOST:$1,PT]

# match *.*
RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}              ^[^.]+\.[^-]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule   ^(.+)                     ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}}$1 [C]
RewriteRule   ^([^.]+)\.([^/.]+)(.*)    $3              [E=VHOST:$1,PT]

# rewrite Page-(id).html
RewriteRule (.*)/Page-([0-9]+)\.html$
%{ENV:VHOST}/html/$1index.php?pageid=$2 [L,NS]

This works, according to the rewrite.log:

] (2) local path result: defaulttest/html/index.php

But the error log says:

Any ideas?

Thankyou in advance.
