[users@httpd] Mod rewrite question

hi,

i'm running under windows 2K, and Apache 2. in my httpd.conf, in my root <Directory> i'm using this:
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ 404.html [QSA,L]

i don't want anyone to view the html pages. this works fine exept when i try to put it in an .htaccess
if i do this, the directory becomes inaccessable. what am i doing wrong?

any help would be grand
Thanks
Tim

Well. First it would be interesting what the error log says ;-)
Second, it would be helpful if you'd update to 2.0.45. Especially for 
windows (in fact all non-unices) some bugfixes were made in mod_rewrite, 
which make the life much easier and some problems better to solve.

sorry! i could have been more precise.

> - What does "root"-<Directory> mean in this context?

in my main httpd.conf i have
...
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/BigApache/Apache/htdocs"
...
<Directory "C:/Program Files/BigApache/Apache/htdocs">
  AllowOverride AuthConfig
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  AddHandler type-map var
  AddHandler server-parsed .html
  DirectoryIndex index.asp index.html.var index.php index.php3
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ 404.html [QSA,L]
</Directory>
...

but i would like to move the rewrite rules to a .htaccess file instead of the main file so that i can set different values for
different folders.

i'm using Apache/2.0.44 (Win32)
when i go to the folder in my browser i get Error 500

Thanks for your time

- What does "root"-<Directory> mean in this context?
- You're missing a RewriteBase directive.

What does it mean? 500? 403? Crash?
Which version of Apache do you use?
