Hello,
This question is about an Apache configuration problem I have recently. I hope
someone can help here!
In order to view the websites I develop locally easily I set up Apache mod
rewrite to map a url to a directory on the local filesystem. This way I do not
have to make a Virtual directory for every project but the URL is being
rewritten to map to a directory on the local system. Here's the setup:
I set up an A record in the DNS of my domain to point back to the local machine
wjenI use a special prefix in the URL:
*.local 127.0.0.1
(saying "every subdomain ending with .local is to be redirected to localhost)
I set up Apache's httpd.config Mod Rewrite like this:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
(remove the comment - # - sign)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)\.local.mydomain.com
RewriteRule (/.*) D:/www/wwwroot/%1/$1
(saying: every request ending on local.mydomain.com has to be rerouted to the
directory D:/www/wwwroot/<whatever preceded .local.mydomain.com>/<whatever
followed.local.mydomain.com)>
This worked fine: if I had a directory "d:/www/shipyards/q.cfm all I had to
enter in my address bar was "http://shipyards.local.mydomain.com/ q.cfm and
q.cfm was served.
Until yesterday, the same url (http://shipyards.local.mydomain.com/q.cfm) only
gives me this response

Bad Request

Apache_error log gives this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
[Sat Jun 14 13:29:20 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Invalid URI in request
GET /q.cfm HTTP/1.1
Apache access log gives this:
---------------------------
127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2008:13:29:10 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 400 226
127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2008:13:29:20 +0200] "GET /q.cfm HTTP/1.1" 400 226
---------------------------
I have no idea why the web browser doesn't recognize these requests anymore and
there is nothing that comes to mind I might have changed that caused this
behaviour. I tried setting up Virtual Hosts to circumevent the problemn but
there Apache won't start for other errors in the config file. And actually I
want the situations with Mod rewrite back as before.
Can anyone here help me out?
Thanks!
