Then for some unknown reason I deleted the P and left [T] when I sent the email. The problem turns out to be that you must put the Rewrite* configuration stuff in the virtual host, not outside. Then it works. It's documented but I had glossed over it.

Disclaimer: I am not an Apache guru :) You have [T] as third parameter to RewriteRule, which is used to specify a MIME type, but you're not specifying anything. Maybe that invalidates the rule. Try removing it. You can also specify multiple RewriteRules which are processed in sequence, if trailing slash works maybe you need to first add a rule convert URL with no slash to URL with slash: RewriteRule ^/website$ /website/ [R]
[gentoo-user] [Apache HTTPD] Why doesn't my RewriteRule fire?
Hi all, I hope some Apache guru can help me out. I must be missing something very obvious. Assume a default Apache 2.2.17 with all modules installed and -D PROXY -D INFO in /etc/conf.d/apache2. My update to the default VHOST: ForensicLog /var/log/apache2/forensic.log ProxyRequests off RewriteEngine on RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteLog/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log ServerName localhost ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot "/var/www/localhost/htdocs" Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 RewriteRule ^/website$http://localhost/website/ [T] ProxyPassMatch^/website/(.*)$ http://localhost:8000/website/$1 The ProxyPassMatch fires but (AFAICT) the RewriteRule does not. I.e. http://localhost/website (no slash) ==> 404 (in fact, it's trying to serve /var/www/localhost/htdocs/website) but http://localhost/website (with slash) ==> works. Why does the RewriteRule not run? FYI, rewrite.log is created but stays empty. I don't see any errors or warnings in access.log or error.log. Cheers, Hilco
