Synopsis: ReWriteEngine On not inherited from general server config into virtual host config.
State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Sun May 11 10:04:13 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: The author of mod_rewrite, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ralf S. Engelschall), has said: >It is intended this way, because when vhosts would inherit the enable flag >this would cause a lot of performance lacks for vhosts, possibly without any >advantages. For instance if the main server has a global rules which are only >valid for himself, the rewriting engine would try to match them for all >vhosts, too. Not very useful. > >But it is correct, we should make the docs a little bit clearer. Ok, >"RewriteOption inherit" documents a bit, but it was never stated that the >rewriting engine has to be switched on for every context.
