All:
I realize that this is not an Apache::ASP problem, but perhaps someone with
a bit more experience with mod_rewrite can help me out.
I got the idea for this rewrite from a recent post to this list. I
regularly use the "pathinfo" portion of a URI to access specific tables and
records in a data base. For example, the URI
http://www.a3a10.gati.org/index.asp/committees/2
asks my ASP script to look up record "2" in table "committees".
I want apache to rewrite an incoming URI so I don't have to include the
"index.asp" when one of my keyword table names is recognized. For example,
when apache sees my keyword "/committees" at the beginning of a URI, I want
it to substitute a file name, and then the keyword. For example:
/committees/2 -> /index.asp/committees/2
I can not get mod_rewrite to utilize the grouping characters in the rewrite
rule. Mod_rewrite is recognizing the need to substitute, and is placing the
/index.asp/ into the line, but is not using the $1 and $2 groups.
I'm running apache 1.3.20, mod_perl 1.25, perl 5.6.0, Apache::ASP 2.15 on
AIX 4.3.3.
Here is the snippet from my httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost 128.61.129.200:80>
ServerName www.a3a10.gati.org
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot "/home/htdocs/a3a10"
ErrorLog logs/a3a10_error_log
CustomLog logs/a3a10_access_log common
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog logs/rewrite
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteRule ^/(committees)(.*) /index.asp/$1$2
</VirtualHost>
Here is the complete mod_rewrite logfile output:
64.192.123.105 - - [16/Jun/2001:01:55:29 -0400]

The $1 and $2 are empty!

What am I missing? It has got to be something simple! I've tried a variety
of combinations (fiddling for about 5 hours) without any luck!
Thanks,
