I'd like to be able to release my web sites (all using shared hosting) by version; what I mean by this is, say I have the current version of the site in directory /V1/, and a new version of the site in directory /V2/. I would then have a complete copy of each version of the site in the appropriate directory, that way, if anything bad happened, I could easily roll back.
My web host told me that I can accomplish this by using a .htaccess file; this is on IIS using the ColdFusion Applicaiton server, with the .htaccess duties being handled by Microonovae<http://micronovae.com/ModRewrite/ModRewrite.html>. So, I set up an .htaccess file with the following contents: # RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.wherever.com RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/V1/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /V1/$1 [L] # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} beta.wherever.com RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/V2/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /V2/$1 [L] # This does indeed redirect to code in the /V1/ folder, but the problem I am having is that I am using a number of server side includes with an absolute path to root, i.e.: <cfinclude template="/extensions/inc/udf_lib.cfm"> The problem is, it seems to be looking at the REAL root of the server, i.e. the directory that also contains the /v1/ and /v2/ directories. This doesn't make sense to me, as it seems like of .htaccess is doing its job the way is should, it would automatically look for /v1/extensions/inc/udf_lib.cfm Am I expecting too much out of .htaccess? Or do I simply not have my .htaccess file written correctly?
