apache rewrite rule

sunlinux · 11-11-2011, 06:20 AM

I have a rule:

RewriteRule ^/a/(book)(.*) /c/d/en/a/$1/$2 [L,PT]

if i type

url www.url/a/book/faq.html it goes to www.url/a/book/

if i type www.url/a/book//faq.html it works and loads source page

why so ?

I'm sorry but I don't have any idea what you're trying to do with rewrite.

Can you explain yourself what you're trying to do, then help may come.

here is more clarity .... for rewrite rule

source:
wwwsite/a/book/faq.html

destination:
wwwsite/d/en/a/book/faq.html

rule i placed:

RewriteRule ^/a/(book)(.*) /d/en/a/$1/$2 [L,PT]

if i type in browser

wwwsite/a/book/faq.html it goes to wwwsite/a/book/ (with no page found 404 error)

if i typein browser: wwwsite/a/book//faq.html it works and loads destination page (wwwsite/d/en/a/book/faq.html)

why does it working placing // double slashes ?

its closed space between $1/S2

probably if you leave out the $2 to read:

Code:

RewriteRule ^/a/(book)(.*) /d/en/a/$1 [L,PT]

it may work

I don't know really.

good luck...

Is your RewriteRule within a Directory block?
