I'm using mod_rewrite to push cgi-bin directories through cgiwrap like so : RewriteRule ^/cutsd1997/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/usera/$1 [L,PT] RewriteRule ^/korean/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/userb/$1 [L,PT] RewriteRule ^/asian_lang_stud/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/userc/$1 [L,PT] RewriteRule ^/gsandss/german/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /cgi-bin-/cgiwrap/userd/$1 [L,PT] Since i upgraded to Apache 1.3.3 from 1.2.5, the last 2 RewriteRules no longer match. After a lot of playing around, I noticed that the supplied regex library is now compiled in by default, rather than the OS version. I relinked apache with the OS regex library, and the two lines now work fine. The mod_rewrite log looked like this : (3) applying pattern '^/asian_lang_stud/cgi-bin/(.*)$' to uri '/asian_lang_stud/cgi-bin/printenv' why didn't it match ?
