I'm having some troubles figuring out how to get a rewrite rule I have
in a .htaccess file ported over.
The basic ones are working fine it's just the rule we have for dealing
with requests for our CSS and image files from a relative path.
Those files are kept in the folder "http://domain.com/includes/images/";
and "http://domain.com/includes/css"; and we use relative links to point
to them.
When they hit a link for the contact page (http://domain.com/contact or
just /contact ) there is an internal redirect that points to
http://domain.com/index.php?id=contact
This is simple and working fine.
Where the trouble pops up is our includes as the browser is now looking
for http://domain.com/contact/includes/images/logo.jpg instead of where
it really is: http://domain.com/includes/images/logo.jpg
In Apache we had this handles by the following rule which worked fine as
it was only run once:
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_./]+)/includes/([a-z0-9-_./]+)$ includes/$2
This does not work in Cherokee as it seems to keep running the rule over
and over again till it spits out (external was selected to see output):
http://domain.com/contact/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/logo.jpg
My question is whether this can be done without resorting to a rule per
subpage or without having to to change our links to absolute links.
The reason we don't want a rule per subpage is the web designers don't
have access to cherokee-admin to add rules so it's best to have one or
two rules that can handle having new pages thrown at it as well as pages
getting removed. The reason absolute links aren't used is it's more
efficient (or lazy, however you want to look at it) for doing testing
and development before going live as well as allowing previews for clients.
