Hi list, I can't figure out what is going on. I have been using this page, it's very useful: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html And, I have been trying to get my server to rewrite URLs. I'd like to get *anything* to work, even some kind of bogus example, but I can't seem to do it. I'm running tomcat 3.2.1 on a linux box with Apache 1.3.19. I am modifying my httpd.conf file that happens to be here: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf It appears to be loading the rewrite_module okay, and then I have these lines in the httpd.conf file: RewriteEngine On RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 8 (I'm using LogLevel 8 for debugging only -- I'll turn that off once I get this working. So far, the rewrite_log file gets created, but is always empty!) Then I have this line: RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.yahoo.com [R] Which seems to me that it should redirect any URL to yahoo. It just ignores it and does nothing. I have tried many different re-write rules to try and get something to happen, and nothing ever does. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have also tried this: RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.yahoo.com [R] Whenever I modify the httpd.conf file, I always stop and restart the apache service before testing it. What I would eventually like to have happen is this: If someone enters: www.[myserver].com/name Then I want that URL to be re-written as follows: www.[myserver].com/template.jsp?doc=name Thanks so much if anyone can help, I have been going nuts over this!
